Comment on A Mexican Hospital, an American Surgeon, and a $5k Check

Comments

In 2004 I was in Cancun and met a few people doing this kind of thing. It was for plastic surgery type stuff that wasn’t covered by insurances. Not nose job stuff more disfigurement or getting something unsightly fixed. 15 years later they have a hospital catering to this. It was sketchy back then and I heard of botched jobs with not so great surgeons.

Here we are 15 years later where they fly in surgeons and pay the patients.

Anyone want to build a system to connect hospitals overseas with insurance companies/patients?

In Florida they have a boat that goes out to international water, drops anchor, and lets everybody gamble for the day.[1] Perhaps we aren't too far off from Norwegian Cruise Knee Surgery and Holland America Hip Replacements.
