One understands the 'leave everything behind'. But after th G-YMMM business, there were a lot of complaints that the pax were not well supported. So there's an evacuation, I leave everything behind including the drugs I need, - which are in my briefcase - and which one must NOT stop taking (eg steroids and insulin). I'm now down on the tarmac, in a country where at best my knowledge of the local language is minimal, if non-existent. The airline staff are up to their ears: I need my drugs as a matter of urgency, and there's no way to get the medical attention that's needed. And if my wallet is in my brief case (as is usually the case), I can't pay for the drugs if I could get them.

If there's enough notice, one moves drugs, wallet etc to pockets. There wasn't in the case of YMMM.

So what should I do? (Please don't say 'Die'!)
