The Health Traveler Blog: China

I awoke this morning to a tweet that alerted me to an article in today's New York Daily News on the subject of medical tourism. "What a way to start the day," I groaned, "likely a hack job on the dangers of traveling to terrorist nations, horror stories of germ-infested hospitals, untrained surgeons wielding wooden scalpels, on and on...." Such are the tales of woe often featured in the world's tabloids, and I fully expected to once again navigate my way through a snarky registration process to post a one-off comment in diplomatic counterpoint.
