Talk about a fun vacation... A growing trend in travel is "medical tourism", according to the Contra Costa Times.
Due to the ever escalating costs of medical care in the U.S., Americans are frequently traveling to Canada and other countries further afield to seek medical treatment. The trend started with plastic surgery procedures, but has now grown to include everything from sinus surgery to heart bypass operations.
I don't know about you, but I could go for a trip to Thailand for some lipo and a little beach time. Or maybe I should make that beach time THEN lipo. I can sense an opportunity for package deals here!
All kidding aside, this is a pretty troublesome trend. But then, I guess it might be nicer to recuperate in Phuket than Philadelphia.
