외국에서 저렴하게 수술을 받는 사람들

 

Well, some Americans are going to great lengths 무척 애를 쓰다 to reduce the cost of medical treatment. Barry Peterson shows you one popular choice where instead of an insurance card, you’ll need a passport.

 

American Sheldon Hobegar runs a restaurant in Shanghai, China serving health foods. But when he has his own health problems, requiring sophisticated 매우 복잡한, 정교한 back surgery, he didn’t stay in China. And he didn’t go back to the US. He came here to Bangkok’s Bumrungrad Hospital. “I get the same skill, I get the same service, I get everything at one sixth the cost.”

 

At a hospital that looks more like a high end shopping mall, with a rooftop 옥상에 있는 garden and even a daycare 미취학 아동을 주간만 봐주는 일 center for the kids. Thailand draws 마음을 끌다, 유인하다 patients from around the world. “We offer a Mercedes 벤츠 product at a Toyota price.” A US trained specialist here charges $15 for a consultation 진찰, 상담. In the US, a doctor with the same credentials would charge $100 to $150.

 

More than 300,000 foreigners visited Thai hospitals last year. Among them, some 40,000 Americans, mostly those living here in Asia. Part of the appeal, once the doctor is finished, there’s plenty of sightseeing, so they call it the Thai medical vacation.

 

Vicky Maving from England and Anana Bliss from California came to Thailand for fun and a face-lift. “Here it’s… between one third and a half the price that I would have to pay at home 국내에서, 자국에서.” Which is why so many Americans are willing to pay their own bills. For 5 star luxury medical care, that’s not a budget buster 파괴하는 것, 엄청난 것, it’s a bargain 헐값. Barry Peterson, CBS News, Beijing.
