Podcast interview with Josef Woodman, author of Patients Beyond Borders

May 25th, 2007 by David E. Williams of the Health business blog

Medical care in the US costs a fortune. In the past few years uninsured and under-insured Americans have been venturing to places as far away as India and Singapore for surgery and other treatments. The care is often excellent, prices are low, and even surgeons are customer-service oriented.

I spoke yesterday with Josef Woodman, author of Patients Beyond Borders: Everybody’s Guide to Affordable, World-Class Medical Tourism. Listen in and hear what he has to say.
