  "textContent": "In late May, I dislocated my elbow at a queer wrestling event in Portland, OR. I've been trying to stay more active: bouldering, salsa dancing, acro yoga. But wrestling was a bad idea. I didn't have any experience, and the organizers gave only a basic safety briefing. Before I knew it I'd been thrown to the mat at a weird angle, and my right forearm was dangling awkwardly by my side.\n\nI wasn't in much pain yet, so my first thought was simply that I’d go to an urgent care, get it put back in place, and carry on with my life. I had articles to write, a catsit to get back to, a friend’s wedding coming up, and non-refundable plane tickets to my next destination in just over a week.\n\nBut the urgent care referred me to the ER, where the doctor told me that they’d have to put me under anesthesia to relocate the elbow; it would only take a few minutes, and wouldn’t require surgery, but my muscles would resist if I were conscious. Afterwards, they’d put me in a splint for a week.\n\nI’d never had anesthesia, or even been to the emergency room before, but I felt comfortable knowing that I had Genki travel insurance with up to €1,000,000 of coverage in “Every country. Any doctor or hospital,” including repatriation to my home country, Australia. I’d even paid extra for full coverage in the U.S.\n\nWhat I didn’t realize was how much of my recovery would be spent trying to get them to honor that coverage – and why a second type of insurance that I _hadn’t even realized I had_ ended up covering me instead.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
