Surgery in MEXICO????

Question

I just would like to get everyone's oppinion If you had to have a operation and had no medical insurance would you feel safe going to a major hospital in Mexico to have it done if it were over half the cost and the doctors specialize in that procedture.. $8,000.00 in Mexico $20,000.00 in the US Remember most of our best doctors come from different counteries......

Answer 1

First, stop thinking Mexico is a country stuck in the middle ages: it is not. Mexico has good colleges, good hospitals, good doctors... just like evere other does. The same about cuba. Cuba can be a doomed country but their level on medicine is quite high.

You go to a major hospital in mexico and you will get the same that in a major USA hospital, just that cheaper. And that goes for almost any other country in Latin America.

Answer 2

You will be surprised how many Americans retire in Mexico about 300, 000. For prescriptions and medical needs. Lake Chapala has excellence Doctors there a big community of older Americans. If there is emergency with a patience, Doctor see you right away instead of waiting room doing paperwork. If you can't pay all, pay what you can.

Answer 3

If you get anything done in a foreign country, you are not protected by US laws....so if it goes badly....there is nothing you're being a citizen of the US can do...except hire an international lawyer at about $600/hour......as they laugh at you.

Just think of all the goods imported. Once they are sold to us, we are protected if the good or services are bad, or don't work!

Answer 4

Many of the best surgeons in the US, are from other countries...I go and have my surguries all the time in Mexico...always gone well...but it is your decision. Good luck, check for referrals.
