Nothing wrong with cosmetic procedure or makeovers, but you don’t love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the critique. You’re right it is hard to cover this topic without putting other countries medical options into tidy boxes and given my word count it was tough to avoid. I tried to give an unbiased example of the options available overseas and still include quotes from two health care professionals as well. May I ask how you found my article?

Thanks,
Kinsey Gidick

Comment on The changing fortunes of Medical Tourism by Keith Pollard

>>>Apart from feeling the need to reach for a bottle of Prozac and a stiff Gin after reading parts of Keith Pollard’s article

Sorry about that!

>>>the issue I have with his opinion, is that it implies that Medical Tourism was originally prophesied as a Holy Grail, mainstream, overnight solution to the current issues facing the US health care landscape

I’m afraid that has been the case. medical tourism has been massively overhyped in the US with various industry protagonists inventing crazy numbers and seeing it as the solution to the 50 million uninsured. The rreality is very different. As you and I agree, it’s a solution at the margins, but is still a valuable niche.

Hi Jeff,

You definitely have a valid point about Mexico. If the swineflue situation isn’t solved Mexico definitely doesn’t reserve it’s place.

I can’t say I’m sold quite yet on Panama, though they certainly have made strides in the last year to put the country on the “medical tourism map.”

I’m a little surprised you don’t list Mexico; though I’m wondering if the swine flu outbreak is going to hurt the country’s reputation for medical care when it had been on the rise. I think they’ve done an excellent job and do not deserve the bad press they’ve gotten of late.

Costa Rica has long been a favorite of mine; I wrote a book about medical travel that started with my trip to Prisma Dental in San Jose in 2004.
