JoshuaA Posted February 6, 2017 #77 Share Posted February 6, 2017 My wife did her own PD dialysis in our room on Liberty last year. Worked with Baxter to get all supplies delivered to the ship and they were waiting in our room when we arrived. Worked very well. PD is not Hemodialysis but I did want to chime in our experience. Good info as well, kudos to RCI and Baxter, that's a ton of weight in boxes. Also, PD is definitely the way to go for traveling, no machine needed. Best of health to both of you!

Merion_Mom Posted February 6, 2017 #80 Share Posted February 6, 2017 My family and I will be sailing on Liberty and we booked an interior room on deck 10.

sndral Posted February 6, 2017 #85 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Do they need a search warrant? I assumed lurking somewhere in the cruise documents' wall of text that I signed there was a waiver. I don't know the codes, being an inexperienced cruiser, but last Nov. we had one where we retrieved an empty life jacket - quite the entertainment on that sea day to watch the little boat zipping around. Then there was the one for the fire - I recognized that one as a fire when the code was announced, something about fire crew X report to XYZ clued me in on that.

Ocean Dancer Posted February 6, 2017 #86 Share Posted February 6, 2017 On Anthem, Medical was quite large, just like an emergency room. But while we were in port, they were sending a couple crew members off ship to the dentist to have teeth extracted or filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sndral Posted February 6, 2017 #89 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Bravo is the fire code. Alpha is medical. Oscar is man overboard. Thanks! And I heard them all on one 7 night cruise! Although the Oscar wasn't overboard from our ship. The Bravo Bravo Bravo caught my attention because it included directions to report to a specific locale for a specific crew group.

FamilyMan Posted February 6, 2017 #90 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Yours. I refrained. I'm glad you didn't, I was a bit sad to see the delay before this post was made. [emoji106]?? Thank you for the information. My 7 years old son has thyroid cancer and spread to his lungs, he's on oxygen tank for breathing beside that he also has asthma. This will be his last cruise as the Dr. don't expect his survival time to be more than 3 months. Edited February 6, 2017 by FamilyMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be his last cruise as the Dr. don't expect his survival time to be more than 3 months. I am truly sorry to hear that however there is no way anyone here could have known that. Whatever room had any issues should be thoroughly cleaned and there shouldn't be any trace of whatever it was that caused the issue in the first place.

csnarpy Posted February 6, 2017 #92 Share Posted February 6, 2017 As a former SAR Tech posted out of Comox, BC. I have personally flown to and assisted in a few emergency surgeries, on board cruise ships. We would always bring a few items, in case needed, but the facilities on board usually sufficed. This is back in the early 90's, so i'd assume the infirmaries are much better these days. Although i don't know if their physicians can perform surgery, they didn't back then. Our most common one was appendectomies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcclmiami Posted February 6, 2017 #97 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Your link has key words that are blocked but I googled, and it says 1 licensed physician and at least 2 RN's every ship.I wonder how fully equipped they actually are? eg; if they have defibrillators and are able to intubate, administer inotropes or even basic meds like nitrospray or aspirin (I've worked in the ICU). And if the physician is a general practitioner or is trained in emergency medicine. I don't recall a helipad on mine but I may be wrong. was on an EOS cruise when a man had a heart attack in the dining room. Man was gray as they wheeled him behind me. They shocked him and went full speed into Halifax. When they took him off he was waving to the doctor and nurses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjen Posted February 7, 2017 #100 Share Posted February 7, 2017 No one is expected to die on a warship?? I was on a Carrier, The average is 10 who do not make it back per deployment and that is a peace time number..... On Forrestal we had a crew of airdales heading back to JAX via helo after a med, it went down with all hands. Had a LCDR die from eating too many peaches....sad but true.
