Traveller's Diarrhea
Hospitalization and Return Air Flight
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Isabelle consulted a hotel doctor for a rash and diarrhea while on a week long trip to Punta Cana. She had expected to be treated with medication, but was rushed to the emergency room at the nearest hospital. Her symptoms were due to overexposure to the sun, and the diarrhea had caused dehydration. Her husband was taken to the hospital the next day with the same condition. They were hospitalized for 4 days and were unable to depart on their scheduled flight. Thanks to the Trip Cancellation and Interruption coverage in their Travel Insurance policy, they traveled home on a commercial flight 2 days later.
