What if you could get top-notch medical care by highly skilled, U.S.-trained physicians in a world-class medical facility, all at a cost far less than treatment in the United States? It is called medical tourism, and hundreds of
thousands of Americans are doing it each year. They go for dental treatment in Mexico, for hip replacement in Thailand, for heart surgery in India, and for cosmetic and weight loss surgery that costs as little as a tenth what they would pay in the United States.

Paul Gahlinger, M.D., will astonish your audience with the truth about medical tourism: who’s doing it and how much they’re saving. He’ll explain:

• How medical tourism can help solve America’s healthcare crisis.

• Why U.S. healthcare practices may actually be worse than those overseas.

• Real stories of overseas medical tragedies and how they could have been avoided.

• How to avoid medical tourism scams.

• How many people combine medical tourism with luxurious “recovery” vacations.
