[QUOTE=RubyCamaro;8294042]Wow! Who'da thunk it? Sure did not know that. It is actually pretty sad though. The USA should be #1 in medicine but I'm not surprised that is not true. I am surprised that Thailand is the place that is. How in the heck did that happen?
The majority of their doctors have some sort of U.S. Medical schooling like Harvard/Stanford or any of the top schools here. What they don't have is our horrible insurance system and outrageous medical malpractice insurance fees.
Plus most of the medical procedures approved here have been in play everywhere else for sometimes decades. So their doctors have way more experience. It takes forever here, the big companies have to grease the government wheels, and that's a lot of grease if you know what I mean.
We have probably the most corrupt system anywhere in the world. Think of all the hands that have to get a little cash to pass something. Want to be a Millionaire, become a Politician! Funny how they all leave Washington millionaires.
Plus not having a middle man, you pay the hospital directly, is how they allow for reasonable prices. And business is good. Show up for your appointment and you're seen within minutes. All your appointments will be one after the other. Here you'd wait months in between, plus long long wait times when you arrive. They have efficiency down to a science.
When you see their system you realize just how screwed up ours is. Everything is different, from wait times to even the atmosphere of the hospital. It's like checking into a five star hotel, not a hospital.
