We were medevac'd from Anegada to Tortola in 2010 and my wife spent the night at Peebles. My wife had a heart issue requiring immediate attention. Overall they did a good job however it should be noted that Peebles did not have some of the medicine that would have solved her problem that was readily available here in New Jersey. They wanted her to spend the night in the Women's Ward where I was not allowed to accompany her. My wife was understandably stressed and was uncomfortable being alone so we objected. After some discussion they agreed to keep her in the Surgical Ward and I was allowed to sleep on a chair next to her bed. The bill was $1,200 including the flight. What a difference from the USA where the same scenario would have likely cost significantly more. Luckily we have no knowledge of the current pricing structure!
