Having just returned from Tenerife with my sister-in-law I thought I would bring to fellow gransnetters attention a couple of points about accidents on holiday. My sister-in-law tripped and broke her arm 2 days before returning home. Ambulance late Sunday night to hospital; travel insurance and EHIC card asked for; her husband contacted in the middle of the night for travel insurance details which subsequently he realised he hadn't renewed when the reminder came through; €2000 requested which (fortunately) didn't go through. Sent back to our apartment with half plaster and told to come back next morning. Only then were we told it was a private hospital and that the 'surgery' would cost at least €5000 - we refused and were told we might be refused on the flight back unless we got a Fit to Fly certificate. We managed to get this (€177). Sure enough it was asked for when booking in, also when we entered the aircraft. Thank goodness to be back home and enjoy our beloved NHS. NO surgery required - manipulation and plaster. Be warned travelling gransnetters!
