The cost of any serious surgery needs to be weighed against the quality of the work and I would never go for the cheapest guy in some foreign country to cut me open.

Frontline, I think, once found that, while there are very good doctors all over the world, when you walk into any hospital in the USA, at least, odds are the doctor in front of you is very good but the odds of that happening in other parts of the world is far lower.

No, there is also a large bellcurve in terms of treatment outcomes back in the US between choosing the best in one's field and going to any hospital. That's not unique to international medicine at all.
