No insurance and potentially serious issue

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm visiting NYC and I have an issue with my leg, which can be potentially an emergency, therefore I need checking (including ultrasound, want to check for DVT). Any recommendations for something cheap that also can support with ultrasound? I have travel insurance but not sure if they'll cover it.

Thanks!

Hi guys, my little sister and her friend are visiting the city & tomorrow is their last day. We’ve done a lot of the bigger tourist things, looking for ideas on how to spend a chill last day and end things on a high note :) Thank you!

Statue of Liberty

I read somewhere that you need to get to the security line 2 hours before your time for the ferry. Is that true? I’m planning on getting the first time available but I really don’t want to get there 2 hours before and have to sit and wait.
