Susan Cross left the country believing she was healthy. During her Caribbean vacation, she hiked and snorkeled. But days before she was to fly home her appendix burst and she nearly died. She and her husband had to scramble to coordinate her treatment. Cross learned the hard way that a passport is not the only travel document required for international trips. Now she is making it her mission to help other travelers to create their own Medical Travel Portfolio. The author of Power of Disruption: A Memoir of Discovery, the story in which she documents her Caribbean experience, Cross says a Medical Travel Portfolio should contain both a Medical Biography and Medical Contact Sheet. The bio includes a copy of your itinerary, health insurance card and relevant phone numbers, your basic medical history, and a list of current medications and immunizations. Cross is a media veteran; as a PR person for corporate America and a crisis communications specialist, she has been featured on NPR, HGTV and in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. https://www.susan-cross.com/book-page
