What REALLY Happens When Someone Gets Sick on a Cruise Ship?
What REALLY happens when someone gets sick on a cruise ship? From the cruise ship medical center and onboard doctors to emergency evacuations, helicopter rescues, quarantine and huge medical bills, this video reveals what happens behind the scenes during a cruise ship medical emergency. Most passengers never see the cruise ship hospital or meet the medical team, but when something goes seriously wrong at sea, doctors and nurses can suddenly be treating heart attacks, strokes, injuries, infectious illness and other emergencies hundreds of miles from land. In this episode of Cruise For You, we go inside the world of cruise ship medicine and uncover how a cruise ship doctor treats sick passengers, what equipment is available inside the medical center, when a ship may change course for a medical emergency, how a cruise ship evacuation works, and why a helicopter cannot always reach a passenger immediately. We also look at what happens if a passenger needs blood, how telemedicine connects ship doctors with specialists on land, what happens when someone is medically disembarked in a foreign country, how quarantine works during an outbreak, and why cruise ship medical treatment can sometimes cost thousands of dollars. You’ll also discover how cruise ship safety procedures work behind the scenes, how the medical team looks after cruise ship crew as well as passengers, and how ships prepare for major emergencies and mass-casualty events.
