A Smart Part of Travel Planning-Forum-Culture Informatique

A volleyball tournament in Brazil ended with me landing on someone’s foot after a block, rolling my ankle so badly that the ligament tore off a piece of the fibula. The pain was so intense that I vomited onto the sand, and my teammate carried me to a taxi that took me to a hospital in Copacabana. The surgeon put a screw into the bone fragment and told me I would be off my feet for two months. The hospital bill was fourteen thousand dollars, and my travel insurance denied the claim because « amateur tournament » was considered « competitive sport » and therefore excluded. The surgeon laughed when I told him and said every Brazilian player he treats has the right insurance. https://sportravelling.com/cla…..sic-sport/ covered the surgery, the screw, the physio, and the flight home with extra legroom. The screw is still in my ankle, and it sets off airport security every single time. I tell them it’s a souvenir from Rio.
