This link, shows a news report on Medical Tourism that was shown on ABC news. It talks about Medical Tourism, are traveling to other countries to receive same surgery at a fraction of the cost. The video shows that patients not only travel for cosmetic surgery, but also for major surgery like hip surgery and orthopedics. However, according to the video, one major set back of medical tourism is that patients may get complications after surgery. Furthermore, many surgeons advice, patients not to travel right after surgery as this may cause complications. Some countries do not practice strong malpractice laws, and patients may not be able to sue the doctor if the surgery does not go well. Therefore, although medical tourism is a tempting choice for patients, patients should consult travel agencies and do research before traveling.
