Medical care in India is garbage. Post-operative care is poor — the whole notion of coordinated care once you enter the hospital is a pipe dream for all but the super-wealthy. Even they can hog all the attention and resources only up to a point. What’s worse is that you’ve got very skilled surgeons who do a very good job only to lose their patient due to poor post-operative care. The elite in India know this — this is exactly why they head to the US because they know that they will get an holistic and realistic medical opinion, be properly prepared for what awaits them, and get the coordinated care including post-operative care that gives them the best odds of survival. This is especially true in the author’s area of oncology !
I fully agree with this proposal.
