BLACK BAG is a private emergency medical consultancy that provides individuals and families with
immediate care guidance, regardless of their location in the world.
With long waits at emergency rooms, and shrinking access to overworked physicians, Black Bag bridges the
care gap by providing immediate medical intelligence for clients who desire more physician access, travel the
globe, or own multiple properties. From the jungles of Colombia to the shores of Hong Kong, and points in
between, we provide 24/7 telephone access to an experienced, board-certified Emergency Medical Physician
in the event you face a medical emergency far from home or in your hometown.
When you hire Black Bag, you are hiring Dr. Chris Sidford as your private, board-certified Emergency Medical
Physician. Dr. Sidford and his handpicked team are available by telephone 24/7 in the event you, your
children, or your parents face a medical emergency.
As your physician, Dr. Sidford has in-depth personal knowledge of your medical history, and relationships
with your primary physicians and specialists, to ensure you receive the best care and advice concerning
treatment options, hospitalization, and evacuation.
With six-hour wait times at local emergency rooms, and an impersonal rotation of inexperienced or tired
doctors, accurate and timely medical advice is a precious commodity. Shrinking access to family physicians
and specialists compound this information void, leaving many patients with unanswered questions
concerning their treatments.
While we can’t be in the emergency room with you, Black Bag clients enjoy a private, individualized, and
dedicated one-on-one telephone relationship with Dr. Sidford, so every question is answered, and every
treatment option is fully explained.
