Slips and Falls at a Hotel. I need a doctor!
Slips and falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency department visits in the hospitals.
In a hospitality setting, falls usually happen in one of these areas:
- stairways
- balconies or landings
- ramps
- parking lots
- bathtubs or showers
Important factors usually involved in these falls are:
- presence of handrails/guardrails
- presence of a non-slip surface
- adequacy of landing areas
- accident victim’s field of vision
- accident victim’s health, behavior
- adequacy of lighting
- weather conditions (wet, snowy) and
- maintenance (cleaned, recently polished)
When you stay at a hotel, you are usually on vacation, traveling, and expecting to have a fun, relaxing time away from home.
Hotels owners try to make the experience pleasurable for all their guests. Unfortunately, all guests’ experiences don’t turn out as planned.
In case of Medical Emergency contact the manager of the hotel and ask for medical assistance.
All the hotels that CrossBorderMedCare has a collaboration with, can summon a doctor to your room. Our doctors of general medicine are very experienced in dealing with international patients and they are called at the place of the incident for an initial clinical evaluation.
Their evaluation is decisive whether you (the patient) can be treated on the spot or further evaluation and treatment is needed. If the evaluation is such that you need to be transported to the hospital then this is done by our ambulance service. At our hospitals definite diagnosis and treatment is secured by our network of doctors of secondary healthcare. We then make it easy for you by taking care of all the administration between the hospitals and your insurance company, since we collaborate with all the insurance companies worldwide.
