PinnacleCare at Work in the City of LightA day after my husband and I arrived in Paris, I had a flare-up of bursitis in my right hip. The pain was intolerable, preventing me from walking up a hill or up steps. I told my husband that I would probably have to return home since I did not think I could walk around Paris or travel on to Luxembourg and then to Cannes. We know Paris very well, but not for medical treatment. As I was ready to cancel out of this trip I thought – PinnacleCare. This is one of the reasons we have PinnacleCare, for emergencies such as this one. I contacted my Advocate immediately in New York. Within a few moments my call was returned and an appointment set up for me the following day. The physician who treated me in Paris could not have been nicer. After examining me, he gave me a cortisone shot in my hip and thankfully nailed it. The pain was relieved almost immediately, and within a few hours I was back to my normal energetic self.
