Remember a few weeks ago when we posted about the rise in medical tourism: Health officials have recently reported that 19 Americans who traveled to the Dominican Republic for plastic surgery returned with hard-to-treat infections. “Fourteen were hospitalized in the United States and required multiple therapeutic and constructive surgical procedures and long courses of antibiotics,” as reported in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly disease and death report. All were women seeking tummy tucks, liposuction or breast implants. Instead of saving money, they all ended up with long hospital stays, long term antibiotics, and unsightly scars.
