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 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.
Black Bag bridges the care gap by providing immediate medical intelligence for clients who
want 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.
Specifically, Black Bag offers physician-directed care and advice concerning emergencies, hospitalization, and evacuation. Black Bag quickly assesses the illness severity of our clients, evaluates the local facility's capabilities and physicians, and determines whether evacuation or transfer is necessary. If so, we immediately arrange the medical and logistical requirements for you.

Dr Christopher Sidford MD - CEO and Founder
Highly regarded by peers and patients alike, Dr. Christopher Sidford is a board-certified physician
in Emergency Medicine with over twenty years' experience at leading medical institutions.
Before founding Black Bag, he was an attending physician with the world renowned Lahey
Clinic. He started his career at Boston City Hospital, where he graduated from the hospital's
“knife and gun club,” the residency program for emergency physicians.
A U.S. Navy officer, Dr. Sidford served as faculty member of the Emergency Medicine Residency
training program in San Diego before traveling overseas. The Mojave Desert and the Arctic
Circle were just some of the locations that challenged Dr. Sidford to teach and practice emergency
medicine in remote and difficult conditions. Later, he helped to open a nuclear-, chemical-,
and biological-proof hospital on the island of Sicily. Upon returning to the United States, he
joined the faculty at Brown University, where he taught emergency medicine and served as attending
physician at Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children's Hospital.
