I don't do doctors unless an emergency when away from home. When I can and not working in winter, I go to AZ or NV and prospect for gold for a week or so at a time. Only emergency I could foresee would be something broken or snakebit. Otherwise I would head home.
That's what I used to think .... until two things happened to me out of the blue in the last 10 months:
1) A kidney stone attack that caused debilitating pain. I wouldn't want that to occur on an RV trip - especially if out in the middle of nowhere. The stone had to be surgically removed and the whole process would have been very expensive without Medicare A, Medicare B, and Supplemental Insurance.
2) A gall bladder attack that caused debilitating pain. I also wouldn't want that to occur on an RV trip - especially if out in the middle of nowhere. The gall bladder had to be removed and would have been very expensive surgery without Medicare A, Medicare B, and Supplemental Insurance.
I'm a four year AF "veteran", but VA benefits are so small for me that I never followed through on signing up with the VA.
