Imagine your home moving four timezones away as you need to be hospitalized for a few days.

  I've never been hospitalized in my 45+ years on this planet, so this is pretty hard to imagine. As I'm sure it is for most young people. What's with the medical emergency astroturfing on this thread?

    Young people may have trouble imagining it. But, while medical concerns for a healthy person shouldn't keep someone from traveling, they should have a plan for a multi-year trip because young people do get sick and suffer serious injuries.

    I spent Christmas Eve in the emergency room with a question about if my leg was broken, my knee's ligaments were damaged, or what was going on. Just lucky, I guess! As soon as I can get an appointment, I'll be going to a doctor to sort out the next stage but best case scenario is I'm laid up for 6 weeks and the worst case is surgery.
