Lots of people will go to India or Thailand for their joint replacements... you can fly there, have a month-long vacation, the surgery, a month-long recovery, and fly back for less than the cost of just the surgery in the US.

What stops Indian or Thai doctors from botching the job?

Where's the accountability?

Can you sue them for malpractice? What?

Oh, I have no idea. No doubt there are answers to these questions, but I have no idea what they are.

I do know that medical tourism is already a huge and growing business, so presumably these concerns have been addressed to some degree at least.
