Medical Tourism: Medical Tourism Pre-Surgery Checklist & Workbook: What you don't know CAN hurt you (Paperback)

When people speak of medical tourism, they are usually discussing the practice of going outside of the country where they live and paying for a surgical procedure to be performed. As mentioned in the book "Medical Tourism-Surgery for sale! How to Have Surgery Abroad Without It Costing Your Life", by Janet Bristeir, there are several questions that need to be answered to ensure your safety. In this planner, Bristeir gives you checklists and a workbook layout that will allow you to get basic questions answered before, making your decision to have surgery abroad. Working through the checklist will provide a deeper understanding of the details we usually don't have to think about when told we need surgery. We're usually referred to a surgeon, given an appointment, given pre-operative instructions and a regime that may be necessary. Then we turn up at the appointed time and place for the surgery. With Medical Tourism it's "buyer beware". You need to be fully aware of all details and costs involved in the venture to ensure a safe and expected outcome.
