Talking to Your Doctor About Medical Travel
00:00:00.000 | A lot of people who are trying to save money on medical travel are ashamed to talk to their
00:00:04.200 | specialist or they don't want to let them know that they're traveling.
00:00:07.520 | It's really important to give your doctor a heads up.
00:00:09.920 | And there's no shame in saying, "Doc, I can't afford you.
00:00:13.280 | And I found a great clinic, it's JCI accredited.
00:00:16.380 | This is where I want to go."
00:00:18.720 | It may or may not be that your doctor and your destination and your foreign country
00:00:22.200 | would follow up.
00:00:23.200 | But the fact that you've given your doc notice and you brought back all of your paperwork,
00:00:27.360 | that's another big mistake people make is they toss their paperwork, they leave it in
00:00:30.800 | the hotel room.
00:00:31.800 | You got to bring back your screening, your blood tests, your consultation notes, all
00:00:37.280 | of that.
00:00:38.280 | And then a doc is going to be able to pick up where your other doc left off if a complication
00:00:42.960 | develops or if they need to go in and do something else or have some follow up.
