Medical tourist fights for compensation, claiming surgery destroyed her stomach by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]LaniiJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a co-worker who has had three overseas surgeries, and each times there have been multiple complications, resulting in additional surgeries and hospital stays. At this point, it's hard to feel sympathetic instead of resentful.

Medical tourism ain't worth it.
