Well soggy, you could always move next door with all your old boys - as you said CHC has great medical cover. We've had several guys with heart problems who were excellently dealt with by SOS. A few years ago we had one engineer who had a nasty acccident at Agip when a tyre which was being inflated without a safety cage exploded, causing extensive hand and arm damage. Both SOS and CHC did a great job of initial trauma care, followed by medivac to South Africa for fairly extensive surgery and then flew him home to Oz. You can't put a price on good medical care out here, but it's sure a worry if you have none
