Boss yuh first me


“He points to Jamaica’s geographic location close to North America and its hospitable year-round weather as providing competitive advantages for the development of high-quality healthcare and recuperating facilities at a lower cost for Americans citizens and health insurance providers than now obtains in the US. In this way, he foresees Jamaica becoming a health tourism hub for the Caribbean with investment and technical collaboration from Indian business persons and institutions.“

a friend of mine needed both hips replaced...would have cost him $80k in the USA...he went to india & got it done for $10k inclusive of all follow up medication...we need to get our heads out of the sand & take advantage of these opportunities

[Assasin]

It cost a fraction in most Asian countries, even with similar technologies.

[Reggaedoc]

....and what?. We so furking dumb in Jamaica that we can't perform simple hip replacement, he had to go India?
If UWI is as good as they say they are, then why cant we do it in Jamaica for $7000.00 rather than going to India and wasting that extra $3000.00?.

[Bricktop]

of course we can do it in jamaica...not for 10k though...first of all we have to import the implants & equipment (import duty)...second labour costs in india are a fraction of ours & third their electricity cost is 4 times lower than ours

So if the patient develops osteitis or the joint graft becomes disarticulated him jump pan a plane and fly to India?.
How much electricity it takes to implant a joint bredren?. It sounds like asking some second rate Indians to lead us into Medical Tourism is an admission of our own mediocrity and failure. Not impressed. Better off asking the Chiny man. They build better infrastrusture and less thief than the Indians although both are usually thieves when it comes to dealing with Third World countries, especially those that have the level of corruption as Jamaica

He is not American trained so by definition he is second rate. Yes. I did say that.

I probably should have said third rate as there is no close second to American Surgical training. Period. Say whatever you want. I have trained hundreds of surgical residents who were graduated from almost every country of the world over the last 3 decades and am still doing and none can match American medical education and training. Yes, I did say that.

Btw if he happwns to come to the USA and is desirous of practicing here he has to start his training from scratch meaning from internship. Many would love to even professors but cant pass the first examination that would allow them to even enter internship. Dont believe the Indian hype my friend. Its an ad in a TopDoc magazine. Doesnt count.

FRCS(Eng), FRCS(Eding), FRCS(Ire) are all junk papers. Period. The only FRCS recognized in the USA is FRCS(Canada).

this has nothing to do with what is & isn't accepted in America...you're running out of red herrings...all of a sudden the list isn't an advert anymore
