AND

WELCOME BACK TO THE FACTOR

ON SINCE, AND U. S

AUTHORITIES ARE WARNING

AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL AND

COLLEGE STUDENTS ABOUT

TRAVELING TO MEXICO FOR

SPRING BREAK FOLLOWING THE

KIDNAPPING OF FOUR AMERICANS

THERE. THIS IS ALSO AN

PEOPLE TO BE CAREFUL WHILE

TRAVELING ABROAD FOR MEDICAL

PROCEDURES. DR ABDULLAH WHO

DRAFT IS HERE WITH US ON THE

FACT ROUND SINCE IT TO TALK

ABOUT THIS TRAGIC SITUATION.

THAT WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT

WITNESSED IN MEXICO, EVEN

WITH THE VIDEO OF THEM BEING

THROWN INTO THE BACK OF A

PICKUP TRUCK DOCTOR WHO

DRIVES JUST HORRIBLE

SITUATION, AND WE'RE NOT

SAYING WE TOLD YOU SO. BUT

WE REMINDING YOU THE DANGERS

THAT YOU COULD FACE OUT

THERE WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO

ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A

MEDICAL PROCEDURE IN THIS

CASE. I THINK ONE OF THE

INDIVIDUALS WENT FOR A

COMEDY TUCK. WE'RE HEARING

FROM THE FBI AND THOSE

INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS

TRANSPIRED AND THIS COMES

AFTER A WARNING FROM THE

STATE DEPARTMENT ONLY TWO OR

THREE WEEKS AGO, WARNING

PARENTS NOT TO ALLOW THEIR

CHILDREN OR STUDENTS TO GO

TO MEXICO BECAUSE OF IT

BEING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

CRINGE WHEN YOU HEAR PEOPLE

ARE GOING OUT OF THE COUNTRY

FOR THESE MEDICAL PROCEDURES

, PARTICULARLY THIRD WORLD

COUNTRIES. BUT YOU KNOW,

THIS IS SUCH A TRAGIC,

TRAGIC CASE. I MEAN, IT

BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE

ANYTHING LIKE THIS, UM WE

SEE THE INCENTIVE ON WHY

ENTICED BY LOWER COST

PROCEDURES. BUT THE TRUTH IS

, WE ALL TRAVEL. WE TRAVELED

TO MEXICO. WE TRAVELED TO

OTHER COUNTRIES. UM BUT NO

ONE COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED

SUCH A TRAGIC EVENT.

UNFOLDING UM, BUT IT IS A

REMINDER THAT IN ADDITION TO

JUST A MEDICAL SAFETY OF YOU

KNOW HOW SAFE IS THE

PROCEDURE? I'M GETTING IN

THIS FOREIGN COUNTRY.

REMINDER OF HOW SAFE IS THE

PLACE? I'M GOING? HOW SAFE

IS THE TOWN? MAYBE HAVING A

SEIZURE PROCEDURE

PERFORMANCE. AND OF COURSE,

DR CADRES. THERE WAS A CASE

I COVERED UH, A FEW YEARS

AGO WHERE A WOMAN WENT TO

DUE TO THE DOMINICAN

REPUBLIC TO GET A BBL.

THAT'S THE BRAZILIAN BUTT

LIFT AND THEN RAN INTO A

INTO A COMA AND THERE WAS

NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO

FOR HER THERE, SO THEY HAD

TO FLY HER TO MIAMI IN ORDER

TO GET THE MEDICAL ATTENTION

SHE NEEDED. SO EVEN IF

YOU'RE IN THAT TOWN, AND IT

MAY BE SAFE DO THEY HAVE THE

MEDICAL FACILITIES IF

SOMETHING GOES WRONG, THAT'S

THAT'S BEYOND THE SCOPE OF

YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON, RIGHT?

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW, FIRST OFF

. WE BELIEVE THAT IF YOU'RE

PERFORMING A PROCEDURE, YOU

SHOULD BE VERY WELL PREPARED

TO HANDLE ANY COMPLICATIONS

BEING SAID, SOMETIMES HANDLE

THAT COMPLICATION HAVE

HOSPITAL ASSOCIATED WITH

YOU. YOU HAVE TO HAVE

PARTNERING DOCTORS. THEY CAN

ALSO HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF A

COMPLICATION. WHEN YOU GO TO

QUITE SURE WHAT BACKUP PLANS

. THEY HAVE WHAT HOSPITALS?

THEY HAVE WHAT EMERGENCY

DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE. WELL

OTHER DOCTORS, THEY HAVE TO

HANDLE THOSE COMPLICATIONS

CAN BE A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE

NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE

IN THE SURGEON, YOU CAN

STILL HAVE A COMPLICATION.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE DOCTORS

OF PHYSICIANS WHO ARE DOING

THE WORK ON YOU IN THIS

MEDICAL TOURISM? IF YOU'RE

GOING TO GET PLASTIC SURGERY

, ARE YOU ABLE TO FIND OUT

ENOUGH ABOUT THESE DOCTORS

WHO MAYBE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY

THAT MAYBE IN MEXICO THAT

MAYBE IN THE DOMINICAN

REPUBLIC? ARE YOU ABLE TO DO

YOUR DUE DILIGENCE RESEARCH

AS A PATIENT TO MAKE SURE

THIS PERSON IS QUALIFIED,

AND THAT'S QUITE CHALLENGING

. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO

SAY THAT IN AMERICA AMERICA

WE HAVE THE ONLY TALENTED

SURGEONS, TALENTED DOCTORS

AND SURGEONS ALL ACROSS THIS

WORLD. BUT THE CHALLENGING

PART IS LOCATING THEM,

IDENTIFYING THEM AND BEING

ABLE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH TO

SEE. AH WHAT IS THEIR

HISTORY RIGHT IN THIS

COUNTRY? IT'S VERY, VERY

STRICT, AND WE PRACTICE

MEDICINE AND WE HAVE VERY

REGULATED MEDICAL BOARDS

THAT IF WE START HAVING BAD

OUTCOMES, MEDICAL BOARDS

STEP IN TO MEDIATE OR THEY

TERMINATE OUR MEDICAL

LESSONS. INFRASTRUCTURE MAY

NOT HAPPEN IN OTHER

COUNTRIES. SO A DOCTOR WHO

MAYBE IS UNTRAINED,

BAD COMPLICATIONS CAN STILL

CONTINUE TO PRACTICE THESE

PROCEDURES AND PERFORM THEM

ON PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ANY

BETTER. SO RIGHT NOW THERE'S

NOT A GOOD WAY FOR YOU TO

ALWAYS THERE AND RESEARCH

THE PHYSICIAN THAT YOU'RE

GOING TO BE DEALING WITH,

AND SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT

EVEN BE A DOCTOR THAT YOU'RE

DEALING WITH. YEAH AND IT'S

ALL IN THE NAME OF ACTUALLY

SAVING MONEY AND YOU CAN

UNDER. WE BOTH CAN

UNDERSTAND. PEOPLE WANT TO

SAVE MONEY. BUT ALSO YOU'RE

RUNNING THE RISK OF PUTTING

YOUR LIFE IN DANGER, WHETHER

IT'S A MEDICAL PROCEDURE

ITSELF, OR IF YOU'RE CAUGHT

OR A GUN BATTLE WITH A DRUG

CARTEL, AND THEY THINK

YOU'RE FROM HAITI AND TRYING

TO DEAL DRUGS IN THEIR

TERRITORY. JUST MIND BLOWING

, DOCTOR KUDIRAT. ALWAYS

GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE ON THE
