Since I have been RVing, I've only had to deal with one medical emergency while on a road trip.

That took place six years ago while at the Wells (Nevada) Fun Run. While at a restaurant in town, I was stricken when a coronary artery became blocked. Luckily, I was with friends who jumped into action and got the paramedics to me very fast. I ended up being flown to Twin Falls, Idaho to have two stents put in at St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center.
