I met a lady last year in a surgery waiting room...she was a research physician, from India but working here in the US, married to a caucasian American.

She took him to India and his first hour there, he's trying out cricket with her family (the family he just met) and somehow completely shreds his lower leg to bits.

First time ever out of the country and he's in an Indian ER. No ambulances, so they piled him in a taxi to get him there. They gave him some sort of emergency surgery- screws and pins- to get him home. So she was waiting for the American doctors to redo the job because she (an Indian doctor) didn't trust the doctors in New Delhi.

My semi-point was, how scary would it be to be so seriously injured an HOUR after you arrive in a foreign country your first time ever, and even your native-born spouse is looking nervous?
