Going To the Doctor...In Mexico?

Posted by anewphilosophy Posted on: 07/07/08

Going To the Doctor...In Mexico?

Wow-- this never, ever occured to me, but apparently a new trend in today's downtrodden economy is to travel abroad for medical care. Like... what? Are we Americans that pathetic, that we have to drive or fly to foreign countries to go to the doctor?

On the other hand... hrm. I know this article says that quality of care could be an issue, but still...it's a thought. Maybe I could plan a check-up while Adam and I are honeymooning in Europe?

  • Frankly, I do not know how I missed your post. There are also articles of people in England going outside of the country for dental care. I wish I could find my source, but several months ago, in a journal at work, I read that Europe is loosing the majority of its TOP doctors / surgeons / specialists to America. Having the worlds best medical care is a two edged sword, often you might not be able to afford it, yet those who can are willing to travel halfway around the world to take advantage of it.
