Creator's Key Takeaways

If you your loved one your family is suffering from a medical emergency on board a cruise ship. Okay, and it is apparent to you that they cannot treat that on board. You raise holy hell to get them off the vessel.

Never accept no for an answer. Period. Because you know what's going to happen if you stay on the cruise ship. Right? The situation is not going to get treated.

There are no cat scans on cruise ships. Now that's a interesting sort of side note is that the technology has evolved in such a manner now where there are such things as mobile cat scans right they I've seen them in you know the back of ambulances they're in rural parts of the country.

You've got to protect yourself and if something doesn't feel right, get off the ship, you know, and raise holy hell until you do.
