But now other countries are doing much better in this industry than Malaysia - why is this so?

From what I know, hospitals normally cater to the citizens of their country, and medical tourism is but a bonus. It benefits both the host country for the extra spending from the tourists, and the tourists who get good treatment a lower cost. Profits are probably made but I doubt if any hospital will give out this type of information.

In the current state of advanced database management, it would be very easy to rank hospitals by specific procedures, treatments, departments etc. This would be better for the patient who is looking for the best hospital to get a particular treatment. Remains only the problem of a reliable organization to do the ranking and publish it. But these days who would do it without a profit motive?

That is going by train early in the morning and returned in the last train to Krakow. I have read that Wroclaw is a small city...it is posible to visit the old town only for a day? Or it is better to visit Warsaw for a day? I am going to Krakow and I woulk like to spend only 1 day to visit another city, but not to sleep there. I would like to go by myself, not with a tour. Many thanks for your help Wed, 4 Nov 2009 18:02:49 -0800 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,15/id,12076/#12076 Planning to do a day trip to Carabao Island from Boracay.

Have a look at the tooth next day, if there is any of the tooth left.

While I am not writing off CR, I would suggest that you go to a country that is reputed for medical tourism. CR is still building up a reputation.

Tiger airways is the low cost asian airline..you can broswe their website about the trip cost. If you are looking for cheap accomodation, then there are many bed and breakfast lodges and those are the cheapest costing around $ 10-15 per day....no need of advance booking..

So consult them what are the best options...

In fact i will recomend you to do advnce booking of your hotel in Goa because it is a top holiday season there. No its not too hectic but you will only get 1-2 days at each place because you are going through car which takes more time then plane.

Poland is good but at the moment hungary is above poland due to hungarian govt efforts is promoting medial tourism. Poland is not focussed on medical tourism because cost of treatment in poland is higher as compared to Hungary.

It is not a sign of disease or skin problems. On the contrary it is good, it is just your body is regulating the body temperature this way. Yes unfortunately it could be rather embarrassing. You could wear sweat pads under your arms - but this will only result in you feeling rather uncomfortable. What I suggest is, you wear lose clothes and try to avoid excessively humid atmosphere. Why don't you visit this website - a lot of useful information is given on underarm sweating here. http://curehyperhidrosiscenter.com/excessive-armpit-sweating.htm Sun, 1 Nov 2009 04:15:05 -0800 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,28/id,12050/#12051 You seem to know more than me about these places, so your guess would be better than mine.

The quality of treatment is excellent, so take your time and find what suits you.

Israel has traditionally been a place for tourism based on religion. Places holy to Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the in Israel, and people visit the country for this reason. Medically though excellent, it is not cheaper than countries like India, Thailand and Philippines, which also provide excellent medical services and are excellent touristic destinations too. Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:56:46 -0700 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,6/id,12030/#12039 Like the doctor said to the patient with cold, if you take medicine for it, the cold will take seven days to be cured. If you do not take any medicine, it will take a week. So take your pick. The so called cold medicines are only to treat the symptoms, not the cold itself. It is caused by the rhinovirus, and there is no cure for it, it runs it course before dying out. Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:49:02 -0700 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,21/id,11552/#12037 I hope liposuction can be fitted into a 2 week sightseeing trip in Brazil. How long does it usually take for the procedure? Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:40:28 -0700 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,10/id,12015/#12036 Yes a light dinner is for those people who want to maintain/reduce their weight. A growing child, an adolescent or a person who does quite a bit of physical labor should not worry about a light meal at night as they would want enough carbs to provide them sustainable energy. The light meal should be light enough to be comfortable, in the sense if the person continues to feel hungry after a light evening meal, it may lead to a hunger head ache and/or sleepless nights. In such a case a fiber rich dish like wheat bread or oatmeal could be added/substituted for fruits and salads. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:31:47 -0700 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,9/id,11719/#12034 Unless you want to stick to an all fruit diet for weeks, there is no other cure but surgery. And since in this case the patient happens to be a child he would need more carbs in his diet. You should not hesitate but go in for surgery. It is beneficial in the long run. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:14:50 -0700 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,19/id,11124/#12033 I totally agree with Askme...bladelara..i will request you to stop promoting your website immediately...if you need to promote then contact the moderator/webmaster and take Ad space.

Does your family have any history of heart diseases or any other ailments? When you consult your physician be sure to discuss this issue also with him/her. Your symptoms should not be taken lightly as it may be a mere precursor to something major. Please take care and consult a specialist immediately! Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:28:29 -0700 http://www.healism.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,119/func,view/catid,15/id,11999/#12023 If you are a vegetarian you can find vegetarian dishes, but maybe not an exclusively vegetarian restaurant. So if you are looking just to avoid eating non veg food, it is possible depending on where you stay. Fish, pork, poultry, etc are more commonly found. But the whole essence of tourism is to experience the country you visit, so experience the food too, and forget about the veggies for a while.

In this case an exercise bike would not help either. You need to consult a specialist trainer and physiotherapist, who can recommend exercises that would suit your problem. I am no expert at this, so I rule myself out.

Maybe I have not met anyone who was cured. The people I know swear by the positive result of the ayurveda treatment, but they go back year after year, for the treatments, as the arthritis is still there, though the pain becomes less after the treatments. If it is a permanent cure that would be great and it should be documented.

There may be an underlying infection which could not only be the cause for the rise in temperature but also the cause for indigestion - I suggest the patient undergo blood tests or other diagnostic tests - do consult a doctor asap.
