"Our GP has sent out six referrals and they will not see her," says Reed. "And I think it's due to the fact that she went to Mexico."

“There was a hole in my stomach, so everything I had been consuming after surgery had been seeping out into the void,” she says. “It created an 11 cm abscess just off my stomach.”

That took 15 seconds of searching. It is dangerous. Every surgery has it's complications but doing budget surgery in a developing nation in which you can't be certain of the doctor's credentials, the quality of the materials being used, the sterilization procedures for equipment, the nursing care provided, or the pre/post operative care being offered. There are issues with the medical system, of that no doubt, but I don't trust medical tourism at all, things could go right most of the time, but when they go bad... they go really, really bad.
