This past summer, I went through 45 radiation treatments at our local cancer center. Every day in the waiting rooms, I sat and I spoke with the Canadians there begin treated for their cancers. A couple times my doctor [who serves on the hospital board] complained in my presence about the number of patients that come here for 'medical tourism'.
The standard reason that I heard from the tourist patients is that in Canada they do not have enough radiation oncologists.
I have met these people 'In Real Life', so I do not have any inter-webbz link to prove the existence of these real people.
I am certain that you will want to argue this because you have found some inter-webbz article that proves real life does not exist.
I live in real life and I can easily discuss what goes on In Real Life. How that is reflected by the inter-webbz is a mystery.
I am just glad that my personal radiation treatments are over.
I am happy for you that they are over and hope you are doing well. However based on the above comment your doctor is a tool. No cancer patient or any patient for that matter deserves to be complained about as a "medical tourist"...
