3.30 am
We (Lynn and Kristof) went to a bar to ask for a taxi to head to the nearest emergency hospital.
Together we probably speak 5 words of spanish, which is better than the taxi's driver english which was 0 words. We found out English or French does not help you any further in Spain. Not even the most simple English sentences seemed to make a difference.
The other item we were short of was cash money, together (I borrowed from Mario) we had 100 eur.
Lucky Lynn has a very good insurance (Eurocross), we called them and we opened a file.
The taxi driver brought us to a nice hospital, we were very quickly helped.
They even found a doctor who spoke some english.
They made an X-ray and we found out the top of one of the fingers is broken, the nail was also ripped off, as well as some quite serious injuries to the hands (like burning wounds). They couldn't help us any further in that hospital, because the injuries were on the fingers we had to go to another hospital (a university hospital 40 km further) where they have a plastic surgeon.
They put some bandage around the hands .
We didn't have to pay anything we only left the coordinates of the insurance company. People were very friendly.
6.00am
Also in that hospital they extremely friendly and we were helped very soon.
They confirmed the diagnoses and the plastic surgeon was called in.
She arrived very soon and took care of Lynn.
They put a metal fixation around the finger as well as took care of the burning wounds.
Again we did not have to pay anything.
We were back at OD II around 7.30am and we still have 10 eur in our pockets.
Lynn is going to stay on board for now, we will see how it goes. She needs to take good care of her hands and replace the bandages very regularly.
This shows how quickly an accident happens.


take care of your self.
