55,000 Americans travel overseas for surgery

Clark is not a doctor and he understands nothing about medicine. But he knows about saving money. So when he talks about medical tourism, it’s a completely economic topic. You will save money if you have procedures overseas. And people are clamoring to do so. About 55,000 Americans have flown to one international hospital in Bangkok, Thailand for medical care last year. The hospital has an online visitor guide with prices and amenities. These hospitals specialize in cosmetic, orthopedic and heart surgeries. The procedures are usually 75 to 80 percent off. There is even a company called “Medical Tours International” which employs doctors who visit hospitals to check out the quality and cost of care. People are traveling to India, Costa Rica, Thailand and Brazil to get quality care at huge discounts. You may want to check it out.

This week's poll
Many recent college grads don't know how to dress professionally for work. Have you ever thought someone in your workplace was dressed inappropriately?
Yes. I've seen co-workers in outfits that show way too much skin.
No. I work in a very relaxed environment and anything goes.
Maybe. Some clothing I've seen on the job is questionable.
