RE: the recovery of Joe Puryear's body, w/o David Gottlieb, a mt ranger for almost 20 yrs and Joe's wife Michelle, Joe's body would still be in Tibet. GR made a few phone calls. It was David, w/ Michelle's assistance, the CMA, and their tour operator that facilitated a quick recovery in extremely poor weather conditions. In this case, GR was just a "911 call center". Then, they charged $25k for making a few phone calls, on top of the $5k rescue coverage both David and Joe had through the AAC. Th

This comment is incorrect regarding both the services Global Rescue provided and the associated costs. Neither the Puryear family nor any of the other climbers were charged for the services provided by Global Rescue. All costs were covered by the deceased's AAC membership. For the benefit of our members, we do not publicly comment on the details of the missions we perform, but the above comment is also incorrect regarding the scope of the services provided.... (continued)

Additional information posted by Michelle Puryear regarding this tragedy is posted here: http://climbtibet.blogspot.com/2010/12/words-cannot-express.html We extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to Michelle and her family during this difficult time. John Moretti Global Rescue LLC

The entirety of my post was cut off: The $25K was charged and then refunded because and itemize list of services rendered was requested. And the other details are correct.

These are not easy topics. My sympathies go out to Michelle Puryear during what I know remains a very difficult time. Dozens of rescues have been accomplished for AAC members over the years we have worked with Global Rescue. Member satisfaction has been high. In the Puryear case, GR acknowledged Gottlieb's experience and desire to remain in control. GR negotiated and paid for the helicopter as part of the AAC benefit. To be clear, GR received no payment for any service in this case.

Be humble, do good work and give credit where credit is due. Perhaps if these three tenets were emphasized at the Harvard Business School and in the marketing departments of our military elite, all of the posturing and political B.S. would be unnecessary. I am very appreciative of the role Global Rescue played in the recovery of my husband⿿s body.

I was the Medjet member in 2006 who Global Rescue evacuated from the Colca Canyon in Peru after I fell off of the canyon trail. To set the record straight, Medjet refused to help me and the results could have been fatal without Global Rescue. I'm disappointed that O.M. would cast doubt that the incident happened. It did. Medjet abandoned me when I needed them. Global Rescue evacuated me by helicopter to an ambulance plane, then to a hospital in Lima, and arranged for my return home to Texas.

As the outside counsel for the Association of Surfing Professionals World Surf Tour (and an avid surf/ski/climbing traveler on my own time), I have seen many things go very heavily awry in third and fourth world countries. Give me the brash, confident, ex-SEAL operator any day over some "dispatcher" in a call center who hasn't ever held a dying person in his arms or pinched off an arterial bleed. It is all about getting the patient extracted and home. Big ego -- huh -- who cares!

Blackstone, let set the record straight. Global Rescue worked out a deal with your expedition provider during the planning phase that, were something to happen, they would give GR first dibs on the mission. In fairness, Medjet never even got the chance to fulfill their contract. This is a perfect example of the type of underhanded tactics Dan Richards like to use.

Dan Richards is an investment banker, nothing more. The next time you go see your financial advisor or broker, think about wether or not you would want him coming to your rescue. What is all this about SEALs? GR is not taking down targets in the Korengal Valley, they are only making phone calls on your behalf. Do SEALs dial phones and do Google searches faster than anyone else? Dan hires former SOF operators only because he wants to surround himself with people he never had the courage to be.

Personally, I would prefer that Global Rescue was not a family company. That just seems odd to me. CEO and President is Dan Richards. The VP is Stuart Richards, Dan's father. Another VP, who is also the medical director is Dan's Uncle, Arnold Seid (who is located in CA, not Boston). Chief Counsel is Dan's Wife. Where does the family line stop and business begin?

Think about it. If the US government, who has access to the most elite rescue assets in the world (like the Pararescuemen who routinely rescue SEALs) and they cannot be everywhere at once, then how can a privately held enterprise like Global Rescue be able to rescue you wherever in the world you find trouble? Even if they send one of their own people, he will not be able to get to you until the situation has resolved itself. Do their employees have visa's for every country in the world?

I don't want a bunch of mercenaries coming to get me! I find it appalling that companies like Global Rescue are allowed to operate. In 2006, Global rescue hired a mercenary company, AKE, to try to recover people from the war in Lebanon. After bribing many Lebanese officials, the people Global Rescue was sent after were actually evacuated by the US government, not Global Rescue. This is just one of many accounts where Global Rescue is taking credit for things they did not do.

From the Global Rescue Contract: 1.6. Termination: GR reserves the right to refuse service and terminate accounts, for reasons including, but not limited to, a belief by GR, in its absolute discretion, that user conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to the interests of GR, its members, partners, suppliers, or other users, or for any other reason, at GR's sole discretion, with or without cause. What exactly are you paying for?

If this guy is an investment banker, then no doubt he is trying to build up the company so he can sell it for a bundle; therefore, you can bet the farm he is misrepresenting himself and his company. Why all the enemies, they ask? Probably because he has earned them.

The employees Dan Richards says he fired actually resigned. They all resigned in protest to Dan's unethical behavior and his lack of integrity (Yes, we can prove this, would you like us to). Perhaps the author should have dug a little deeper. Why was an article written on a single company anyway, and not the entire industry? This smells of a good PR company pulling the wool over the eyes of a reputable magazine. Shame all around.

A great deal of the "rescues" done by GR aren't done by their employees, but rather contracted out local entities, most found by google search. GR would constantly overstate their capabilities routinely exaggerating about having African based rescue teams, planes that could be wheels up in minutes etc. Visits by potential clients were dog and pony shows where the staff was shifted about the office to make it appear the operations team was larger than it was. That's lack of integrity.

As someone who has relied on Global Rescue⿿s help, I can tell you that they deliver when I needed it most. I have a family membership and when my wife got a mysterious illness in South Africa, medical advice from GR's experts and the willingness to evacuate her at a moments notice was worth every penny. Global Rescue, rescues. They do it better than anyone. They come and get you if you're hurt, sick or even dead. I hope I never need it again, but I'm glad GR is there.

I remember the "Shows" Dan would put on for clients. One time he even had his mom come in and pretend to be an employee. Funny stuff. Though, the lack of integrity I am talking about is when he asked about running guns into foreign countries. Dan imagined himself as some type of "lord of war". Sure, if you are a big enough name, like Steve House, they will send somebody, that's just good business. Which GR employee tied into a rope and rescued House? Exactly. Posturing is all they can

Doug, I am sure GR "said" they would come get your wife, but did they? GR's standard operating procedure is to say it is to dangerous, or you are to sick, to be moved at the time of the incident. Then they make you lay in the third world hospital until they can figure out the cheapest way possible to get you home which, usually means, you return home on an $150.00 upgraded version of your return ticket. I am glad you had a good experience, you are one of few.

How do you "Rescue" someone while sitting in a chair behind a computer? Has this Dan Richards guy ever actually laid his hands on a person he "rescued". I doubt it. As the post below says, he is a banker, nothing more. He will always just be a money guy. And exactly what do SEALs know about civilian rescues? Doesn't inspire me to get a membership.

So what exactly is The Hero Syndrome? It⿿s an unconscious need to be needed, appreciated, or valued that disguises itself as a good thing but threatens to destroy you. This insidious need will get met when you say yes and overpromise what you can deliver in order to be liked, to please others, or to avoid the perceived consequences of saying no. Sound familiar, Dan. Priorities, "Superhero to True Hero: Reversing the Hero Syndrome" by Laura Berman Fortgang

Amazing! All of the positive comments are associated with real names, while the bashing and negative comments are from "nameless" people. Who are we to believe? Someone who has identfied themself as a person who has experienced the heroic efforts of Global Rescue; or some disgruntled former employee who is not man enough to lend his name to his comments. Although I have never had to use the services of Global Rescue, I am familiar with their fine reputation.

I'm hardly disgruntled. I had a good time working at GR with some great people. I just happened to find some of their tactics less than above board and honorable, and when dealing with people's lives and promising to keep them safe, I found unacceptable.

Richards went out of his way to ensure that I was safe while teaching in Haiti--both when I was safe, and when I suddenly wasn't. That is what makes Dan & GR different. It isn't just about crisis, it is about the integrity of the entire experience. When you feel safe, you do better things for the world-- and he knows that. After getting in a car accident in Haiti, I spoke with Richards on the phone as GR prepped all aspects of my trip home. He was well connected in Haiti, knowledgeable and calm.

I could not agree with you more Holly.

Kudos to Global Rescue for all that you do.

⿿You got me through a very difficult situation in Namibia.I⿿m very grateful for all you did. I have been telling people it was the best $300 that I ever spent.⿝ - M.M.

Geisler said the college spoke with them every half hour. Within moments of the start of Friday's protests, which included Egyptian army tanks rolling into Alexandria, the college decided the students were no longer safe. Staff efforts and another security firm couldn't get the kids out, so they turned to Global Rescue. "They had security agents there within three hours of the signing of the contract. I don't know how they did that, honestly," a relieved Geisler said. - Boston Herald 2/2/11

So let me get this straight, GR flew operations personnel from Boston to Cairo in three hours? Either they have the worlds fastest plane, they used mercenaries (again), or they lied. If all you need is someone to make phone calls on your behalf, then GR will probably do. Notice they made the college sign a contract before moving. Dan loves to catch folks in a bad position and then try to milk them for everything they are worth.

I heard a friend of Dan's and GR member had an emergency with his child in Qatar, and Dan made him wait a week before bringing him and his sick child home because a private jet and accompanying medical staff was too expensive. I was told GR instead brought them home on a commercial flight after making them stay in Qatar for a week! If this is how he treats a friend, imagine how he will treat you. Perhaps Dan would like to join the conversation and comment on the issues that have been brought up.

I can't help but notice that all the "rescues" are really just brokered evacuations (let us call a spade a spade). It seems that most of what GR has done for members has been over the phone hand holding and flying people commercially. From the posts below, GR has only brokered evacuations and airplanes for fee for service customers. It seems like GR only calls an air ambulance, private security or hospital on your behalf. What keeps you from doing this for yourself?

It sounds like the disgruntled ex-employee was a wanna-be SEAL who couldn't make it there or at Global Rescue. Does it really matter what he thinks?

Wow! Apparently there are passionate voices on both sides of this isle! I do think using the word "Rescue" is a bit strong. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers rescue people, the Mountain Rescue Association rescues people, firefighters and police rescue people. These are all people who put their lives on the line for others. They deserve the recognition for performing rescues because they place their lives on the line. How exactly do GR personnel put themselves in harms way for others?

I don't know anything about Global Rescue, but I have been a member over at Medjet Assist for a few years now. They flew to Baghdad to pick up a engineer friend of mine who was working for the military and had a heart issue. Then they didn't charge him a dime, everything was covered by his membership. Has Global Rescue ever rescued anyone out of Iraq?

I have to agree with Dave S below. A few issues ago Outside did a great article on PTSD issues that arise in the volunteer mountain rescue community. These people preform true rescues and they suffer because of it. To say that Global Rescue, or any company for that matter, rescues people is like giving a 911 dispatcher credit for the efforts of a firefighter or police officer.

It sure does seem a bit cowardly that the folks over at Global Rescue do not have any comments to add. Leads me to believe the accusations must be true.

"We're not a security firm..." - Dan Richards in Outside Magazine "From basic advice, to threat assessments, to tactical security teams comprised of former U.S. military personnel..." - Global Rescue Website Lie 1.

"Last year after the Haiti earthquake, chief paramedic Rappaport and security chief Bayer⿿the Pit Bull⿿led a team that evacuated 50 clients." According to Comcast, the client in this case, the operation was botched by Global Rescue personnel.

"And he doesn't claim to be a friendly boss: over the past few years, he's fired at least six people who, he says, "lacked integrity." These "fired" personnel actually resigned due to Richards' lack of integrity. Want us to submit the sales decks as public proof?

We're not a security firm⿿we don't guard static locations. We are in the rescue business. We respond to crises. At the end of the day, we represent the red button these people push

"If you're out there in the boonies and you need to get rescued, you never know what it's going to cost," says Viesturs. "I don't know of any other company that does what they do."

I want to take this opportunity to give a BIG THANK YOU to all the members of your team, which helped me out of this hell. This service is what I would call being "real professional." Having experienced your service first hand, I feel much safer knowing you are available for future trips.

It also want to give Global Rescue a big thank you! After the terrible way you treated me, I never renewed my membership. You saved me, and my employer a lot of money. Thank you for that! Global Rescue failed to evacuate me from Lebanon after my employer paid them to do so. I had to find my own way out of the country after they left me behind!

The American Alpine Club (AAC) provides Global Rescue medevac coverage to all of its 8,000 members. That came in handy last March for alpinist Steve House when he fell 80 feet off the north face of Mount Temple, in Banff National Park, fracturing his pelvis, spine, and several ribs. After a team from Parks Canada extracted House, Global Rescue sent a paramedic to stay with him at a Calgary hospital, then flew him home to Oregon in a private jet.
