People who live in Antarctica take care of each other.

Primarily, people who live there are careful, so as to avoid being in need of emergency relief. There is usually a doctor on a station who can tend cuts, scrapes and the occasional broken limb.

Before people are allowed to work in Antarctica, each must pass a stringent physical exam. Those with existing health issues are not allowed in the research programmes.

Occasionally, however, a medical evacuation is required, but they are infrequent and expensive, since they must originate in other countries, thousands of miles away in some cases.
