Medical Tourism then and Now

It used to be that “medical tourism” was only for the wealthy rich who wanted or felt they needed “Cosmetic Surgery”

In addition you had the benefit of being far away from home , where hopefully nobody would spot you, in your recuperative phase after your cosmetic surgery. Things have changed now. Perhaps its the high cost or long wait lines – even in places where medical care is “free” such as Canada. Canadians themselves have finally come to the conclusion that medical care is limited. If you want service you well have to go out of the country. Previously it was the USA only. Now that medical tourism has become more readily available and trusted medical tourists will travel across the world to get major – even life threatening surgery. Major operations such as hip replacement , cardiac surgery and even transplants – heart etc are not out of the question.

It used to be that once a student from the so called “third world” went to the west for his or her medical education – they were now a doctor in the USA or Canada never to return home- ever , except for holidays and vacations. Now with modern communication and transportation this is not necessarily so. On top of that equipment and such things as reliable electric power are available in these places overseas. Hospitals indeed may be close to state of the art – but certainly new. Equipment may be brand new and indeed better than that found in the USA and certainly in most cases in Canada. On top of that the hospitals are almost like 4 star hotels – staff is cheap , they love their high tech jobs . To them these are the best jobs in the world. On top of that union labor strife is not an issue . Staff at even these new mega , almost factory, hospitals have staff that are used to a slower pace of life. To most patients they are amazingly friendly and concerned as well for patient welfare. Most patients are very satisfied with their medical tourism adventure and exercise and will gladly recommend it to other potential patients as well – be they family , friend or people at work.

Medical Tourism for Americans Has Become More Popular and Commonplace

Posted on 2 May 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

It used to be that there was no question whatsoever as to where your medical care would be . You had your doctor. He or she had his medical specialists that they referred you to. There was one or two hospitals in your geographic area that either you were sent to or that you visited friends and family when they were in hospital – either for surgery or whatever. At the worst if it was really serious and you wanted a “second opinion” or had a fair amount of cash you might of gone to the Mayo Clinic either in Rochester Minnesota or Arizona or in the case of eye opthalmic concerns to John Hopkins in Baltimore.

Not so today. The ever increasing and indeed spiraling costs of medical care in North America has outsourced medical care overseas. Its not only that you pick up the phone and you get tech support for your technical needs , you Amex card payment or travel bookings that you now get overseas service , often now with an American accent as well as first name and surname , but now outsourced medical care to such places as India, Vietnam , Turkey and Romania seem to ever increasing in commonality and practice.

Welcome to globalization.
