Critical Care
Critical care medicine specializes in caring for the most seriously sick or injured patients. These patients are best treated in a specialized area known as the intensive care unit (ICU) with professional equipment and experienced personnel. Some hospitals maintain separate units for special cases (e.g. cardiac, surgical, neurologic, pediatric, or neonatal patients). ICUs have a
Appendicitis
Appendicitis is acute inflammation of the vermiform appendix. The appendix is a small ‘dead end’ pouch, like a little tube, that comes off the caecum. The caecum is the first part of the large intestine (large bowel) just before the colon. The small intestine digests and absorbs food. The parts of the food that are
Electrical Injury
Electrical injury occurs when an electric current runs through a portion of the body, usually from either a man-made source or lightning. The outside of the person’s body may appear to have only minor injuries, but internal injuries may still be significant. As current enters the body (source), it causes surface to deep burns, damages muscle and organs
Nose Bleed
Nose bleeding is a very common symptom that can happen to anyone from children to the elderly. The medical term is epistaxis. One out of every seven people will develop a nosebleed at some time in their lives. Nosebleeds tend to occur more often during winter months and in dry, cold climates. They can occur

Vertigo
A spinning sensation is the best way to describe the main symptom of vertigo. Statistically, this is the chief complain of 5 – 10% of the general population. It may also be associated with nausea, vomiting and ringing in one or both ears (tinnitus). Vertigo can be divided into two major categories, peripheral vertigo and
Concussion
Doctors may describe it as a “mild head injury”, because it’s usually not life threatening, but believe us, the effects of a concussion can be more than just mild! Of course, at least once, you’ve heard someone you know say that they’ve had a head injury. In America alone, head injuries are one of the
Bali Medical Evacuation

Surfing Injuries
Surfing Injuries Although surfing is thought to be a relatively risk free sport, with an incidence between 3 – 4 injuries per 1000 days of surfing, we think it’s wise that you know what to expect and what to do before riding the waves. Surfing is an ancient sport originally from Hawaii. There is written
BIMC Ambulance Fleet
“In an emergency situation, time is of the essence”. Everyone would agree with this statement, however, more should be added, time is of the essence “to get help” for complete treatment. First aid help from a bystander could be lifesaving and prolong someone’s life, but there is no argument that professional help is much more

BIMC Hospital, 11 Years of Service

This is not just a celebration of 11 years of existance, it is also a celebration of the accomplishments since it was first established in 1998 from a 2-consultation-room clinic to a 4-level-hospital.

Accident
Accidental death is still the largest cause of demise in travelers worldwide. Wear your seatbelt, helmet, and protective clothing because you need to, not because the law (or lack of it) says you have to. Surfing accidents too, have taken a remarkable toll on the Island each year.
