Can somebody please tell me why some people are stupid enough to risk this? Why pay for an overseas holiday to Thailand for complicated surgical and dental procedures? Would anyone here actually put their own body in risk by allowing a largely unqualified doctor perform complicated surgery on their body because its half the price?
LMAO, i wont even allow Indians/Chinese etc to do work on me here unless they have been educated here.
I've seen so much of it on Today Tonight and ACA etc. about people having all these complications etc. costing them thousands more than it would have because they have to have everything repaired a few months down the track when they get back. Along with serious infections etc. I can't help but just think its their own fault for being stupid enough to go to thailand for surgery. They cannot honestly believe that in Thailand they are going get the same quality surgery that they would in a medical world leading country like Australia. Putting lives at risk to save a few grand. And its nearly always cosmetic crap as well, especially the dental surgery and breast surgery.
Not exactly surgery, but some bloke went to Thailand and got a tattoo over there celebrating the Geelong Cats AFL Grand Final Victory. Anyway, spelling mistakes all over it and the guy who did it wrote "LEFT ARM" and "RIGHT ARM" on his arms where the guy had written on the design which arm has what. With the conditions half these countries live in, its not surprising by the time they get back to Australia after their surgery, they arent dead.
Didnt that guys tattoo have a spelling mistake like... Instead of DAY PREMIERS it said GAY PREMIERS or something?
Its their decision, so be it. Thats not our problem, its theirs. They choose to do it, they should know the risk involved. If dead - nothing much can be done about it except try warn others not to do it.
I dunno hey, I have never been to Thailand so I have no idea what their hospitals are like but its been reported just this week that an operating theatre here had ****roaches crawling through it so I don't think I'd have any operation done voluntarily!
Just wondering Minux, will you be voting for the Shooter's Party in the forthcoming Federal Election?
But getting it done overseas will get you "the best possible price" *eye roll* Our population needs to wake up and understand you get what you pay for with everything in life...
The asians were always way smarter than everyone else at my school id rather pay less money for smarter people to operate on me. but thats just my opinion
Why would i? Because i prefer to not have people educated in this poor conditioned countries work on my body? Has nothing to do with being racist, i know a Doctor who was educated in India before finally getting into a position over here. What he has told us is scary. I would just prefer modern western world doctors do the work. I agree, they are quite smart, unlike most Aussie kids who prefer to eat food and play video games these guys are in the library preparing their future.
Thats cos a huge number of aussie kids are typical spoilt western children. For the record, at the highschool i went to, the foreign kids were ones with ****ty marks (along with a huge number of non foreign...) Imo the only reason people think any particular group is "smart" or "stupid" or "annoying" is cos they stand out appearance wise and thus we tend to notice the group members more and watch for any outriders which are then taken as the norm... As for scapel tourism. Well, you get what you pay for. I would personally pay top dollar for any sort of surgery. My health is worth too much to me to be cheap about it.
....yes, you're right. I suck at the internet. This is really my kid's domain. I've only been on since February since I joined this forum seeking answers for a problem with my Calais. Btw, before you ask, I also suck at fixing cars.
