    Have you noticed all the recalls and class action lawsuits here in the states regarding implants?

    What recourse or free corrective surgery does someone have elsewhere?

    I had a friend who died in a hospital in Guatemala after a fairly simple gall bladder surgery.

    Ironic. He was a doctor working for a branch of doctors without borders. He wanted to show trust in the medical staff.
