Creator's Key Takeaways

I have seen my fair share of medical situations in my 24 years at sea and one thing that brings me great comfort is knowing that if I get sick at sea we don't just have great facilities we have great people and I'm always in good hands

the medical department on board the celebrity edge is currently staffed by two doctors three nurses and a medical secretary

to be a ship's doctor you'll need at least five years clinical experience with varying backgrounds

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Know that shipboard doctors are versatile and handle a broad spectrum of issues
βœ“Understand that medical evacuations are a last resort and stabilization on board is preferred
