What this video covers
Max dislocates his shoulder diving at the Riche Paul waterfalls in Jamaica, turning a road-trip circuit of the island into a medical emergency.13:29 Claire, driving on the left for the first time in an unfamiliar rental car, struggles to navigate to help while Max is in severe pain; a local named Aston stops to assist and drives them to the hospital, waiting the entire time before returning them to their car.15:26 The nearest clinic had no doctor, forcing a 45-minute drive to the hospital instead of the expected 30.15:06 Treatment — shoulder reduction, morphine, and medications — cost nothing; Jamaica's public hospitals are free, with only about 4 euros spent on drugs.17:08 Max faces two weeks of recovery and must drive one-handed in an automatic rental.16:24 The couple had anchored Namasté in Kingston's mangrove at 13 euros per day, cleared lengthy Jamaican entry paperwork, and road-tripped west to Negril's cliffs and Rick's Café, north to the Dunn's Falls cascades at dawn to beat crowds, and east past Port Antonio to the Blue Lagoon before the accident.1:10 A gale forecast pushes them to drive two hours back to the boat that night to consider taking a marina berth.16:24
