Russia... Not the best time to visit, but hopefully Bunker Rat will be sent to Hauge by the time you will need it.

Here's government's decree(as in by executive branch) about what happens if foreigners that don't have any insurance for example breaks bone. Here's translarion of paragraph 5:

  1. Emergency, including emergency specialized, medical care is provided to foreign citizens in case of sickness, accident, trauma, poisining and other cases requireing emergency treatment. Such medical treatment provided by state and municipal healthcare organizations is free of charge.

You know it's Russia when a specific legal clause is inserted in the medical care laws defining being poisoned as a common form of injury.

"Look we have to do something with all this novochok we have left over from soviet days!"

Ahahahaha. Nice one.

It is list of injuries requiring emergency treatment, not common injuries.

But since Botulism is also form of poisoning, it is not something too uncommon. And if not treated, it will 60% likely to kill.

And you can get it by eating old canned food.

Not all poisonings occur because of assassination attempts. (in fact I imagine it to be a very tiny minority of poisoning cases) Someone can be poisoned by picking the wrong mushroom, thinking it to be a different edible one, or by eating the delicious looking tide pods or by drinking a cup of the methanol-rich alcoholic beverage your friend made (or by drinking too much alcohol in general).
