If their doctors are trained like the bulk of their it professionals -- those hired by the body shops, no thanks. At least from what I've seen, countries that make a business iut of pudging grad numbers hoping for expat acceptance, quality is inversely proportional to quantity.

Within the US, the cost of heart surgery is highly variable, but if I were to go international, i would go south/central America over India any dry.

The Doctors and Engineers from the best institutes of India are comparable to the best in the world. You will regularly meet them in American or European hospitals anyways doing consulting. It's a poor comparison. Some of the hospitals in India are comparable to any top-class hospitals in the world. In the end, you will be visiting such a hospital in India, not small time ones.

Such a crass generalization. If you think the bulk of India's IT professionals are bad - then you should at least consider if such poor skills are "good enough" for a vast majority of IT work.

thats quite a narrow minded comparison. Theres a significant difference between bodyshopping IT employees because western companies want to save money on IT and consider it commodity, & training surgeons. Having lived in both India and South America - I found the quality of healthcare in India significantly better. You need to think a bit before making comparisons! Besides - learn how to spell ;)
