His name was Frank. He was from Calgary. His wife made a single phone call and within four hours Frank had been airlifted by medical helicopter to a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City with a cardiac care unit equipped to treat what he was having. George and I sat with her in the corridor while she held her phone in both hands and made calls and answered calls, and at some point she said, with a flat clarity that I&rsquo;ve thought about many times since: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m just glad we got the policy.&rdquo;</p>
