3174 CABG heart surgeries for 42 surgeons in 2008 means 74 heart surgeries per surgeon per year. That ain’t no great shakes...we got one heart surgeon here in Mid-MO and do about 100 per year.
Not to mention, the parameters as to WHEN cardiac surgery may be warranted, vice percutaneous angioplasty/ stenting may be worlds different between India and the US.
There is a LOT to consider with this article when extrapolating data.
BTW, what is the average wage for a support person in India...like an RN, OR tech etc? And, what exactly is the cost of living in India? I really don’t know.
Cheap is a understatement
Support people, about 1/10th the price as in the US. Cost of living is about 1/20th. LOW costs...
My doctor is from India and she was wearing a pretty top when I went in earlier this month. I commented on it and she said that she buys them for $10-$15 in India and over here they sell for $60-$115.
My doctor is from India and went to med school there...as did her husband.
