She's worried that her monopoly is threatened.

The doctor interviewed is very biased against medical tourism. I wondered why CBS was doing this sort of unbalanced interview ?

American cosmetic surgeons can be just as questionable and shabby as cosmetic surgeons in other countries. I can personally attest to that.

Yes, If treated in India, there is a risk of patient getting cured for ever. So a 'customer' is lost for American doctors.

Most people do NOT know anything about their US doctor either. In fact, the medical community here in the USA works hard to keep problems quiet. Next, there are strict accrediting authorities in the EU, and their appraisals are readily available. Last, Dr. Lajam says to be worried about problems, but doesn't state any statistics to demonstrate more problems in any other country. Why not?

Why does a lot of american's go to another country for medical treatment?, i tell you why. It cost $140k > $250K for a heart surgery in United state while it only cost you $11k > $15K in Malaysia, which i might add has 8 JCI (Joint Commission International) certified hospitals.

Um, aren't there risks here in America? I'd rather take a risk for $40 than thousands upon thousands of dollars.

All she's saying is do your research. Nothing wrong with that.
