I met my friend Dr. Dan Carlin on a flight several years ago, and have watched the progress of his unique business World Clinic www.worldclinic.com. I was keenly interested because I loathe waiting in doctor’s offices to see a physician when I have had a simple cold. I often wondered why I couldn’t just hook up to the Internet and talk to a doc, then have the meds brought to my home like a pizza delivery.
I also had clients who were building destination spa resorts with medical recovery centers who would like to have a staff of physicians they could access remotely. My other clients had ranches and resorts in far flung locales, that could benefit from ‘remote access to medical pros’.
World Clinic offers all of the above. Dr. Carlin services super yachts and private Caribbean Island homes with the highest level of personal service, most often delivered ‘remotely’ with satellite internet hook-ups and innovative techniques in medicine.
As I embark on my around the world in 8 days tour, I will travel knowing that World Clinic will be only a blackberry call away, they know my itinerary, the nearest - best - emergency centers should I require them. I have been immunized against the diseases that I may encounter, and prepped as to the ways to avoid issues. I feel safer. This from their website:
WorldClinic offers members a personal Prescription Medical Kit, a unique service which serves as the first line of defense against illness and injury. Keep this kit with you, wherever you go.
Physicians often refer to “The Golden Hour”: the first hour after a traumatic injury, when access to critical care can be lifesaving. Over the last ten years, we at WorldClinic have concluded that the Golden Hour applies not just to trauma but to virtually every major medical emergency, from chest pain and shortness of breath, to allergic reactions and aggressive infections.
For this reason, we prepare a custom prescription medical kit for you. With our physician guidance, you will have the tools to keep an emergency from becoming a crisis. The contents of the WorldClinic Personal Prescription Medical Kit are designed to treat 95 percent of the most dangerous and painful illnesses that you might encounter while traveling or in every day life.
The kits are portable, durable and effective. Although the content of each kit is based on a person’s particular medical history and travel needs, some standard items found in each kit include:
- broad spectrum antibiotics
- antiparasitic and antimalarials
- antihypertensives
- emergency cardiac medications
- adrenaline and allergic reaction medications
- sedative and pain medications
- motion sickness medication
- migraine medication
- asthma medication
- vomiting and diarrhea medication
Medical lockers assembled for ships, residences and remote locations generally contain greater amounts and a broader scope of pharmaceuticals including, pediatric medications and special medications for local disease and injury risks.
Every remote second home needs to consider having WorldClinic service.
