SALEM, N.H., (UPI) -- A provider of medical, security and travel assistance reminds U.S. adults planning vacations to remember to pack emergency medical assistance.
A broken leg requiring surgery can happen anywhere but when it happens during a vacation, it can pose numerous problems if there is a language barrier and a lack of information on where to seek medical treatment.
