**Have you been on a long flight and arrived in your destination eager to explore the new city? So did Pedro. Later he wished he had taken it a bit easier…**
Pedro with his granddaughter Marcela, back in Brazil
Pedro was on a business trip to China when he felt unwell.
On arrival in Shanghai, Pedro went straight to his business activities as it was day-time and he didn’t feel like sleeping.A few hours later, he fainted in the office and his colleagues called an ambulance.
"I couldn’t believe what happened, I just remember my colleague saying that I didn’t look well and then I collapsed. He called an ambulance and I woke up in hospital. The doctors wanted to make sure everything was fine, so they kept me in hospital for 24 hours, in observation."
The hospital contacted us and we organised payment with them directly.
"I couldn’t believe how effortless the whole service was – the doctors ran several exams, everything covered by my insurance. It was just a phone call and everything was solved. I just had to sign the papers before leaving the hospital, there was no bureaucracy. Total efficiency."
After investigation, the doctors concluded that the episode was caused by lack of sleep, after such a long flight from Brazil to Shanghai.
