Why?

I ASSUMED that because you rejected him by laughing in his face. That's not typically something that one would do to someone they consider their equal

and you've still got it wrong.

You need to work with a counselor on this stuff.

It is completey safe. There is a lot of competition between public and privete service which of course causes increase on the quality of service. Almost half of specialist in mexican border are trained on the US. Health care facilities are first world class. Of course the more you pay the more fancy the hospital will be. And even on a high class hospital you will never pay the same bill as on an American hospital.

Mexican medical boards follow american standards. A surgical fellowship students does from 4 to 5 surgeries per shift, AS A STUDENT, so direct clinical experience is what mexican doctors harvest more.We are not tied up by bloodsucking insurance companies that increase costs for bigger profits. And housing, food and services are cheaper here. The dollar-peso exchange rate works also on your favor.

I highly recommend you to investigate this.

I know quite a few Americans travel to Mexico as well as India for surgery. I think I'd trust conditions in Mexico before travelling to India.

Me too, though there will be extremes in either country.

Of course there are extremes. It depends completely on how much you can pay.

For example you can get that surgery threw public service by two ways. Directly with national health associaton (Secretaria de Salud in spanish) or via socialized security service (IMSS, wich offers a service of buying a year of medical health inssurance that can cover from a viral flu up to a brain tumor surgery) both will give you the service but will be a little bit slow since it is not a life threatening disease. Maybe 2 to 3 months from your first visit to your operation day.

On a private service you may need just a couple of days since the surgeon will require preOP labs just to clear up you are healthy. Choosing the hospital is completely up to you. Choosing the lab provider is also up to you. Labs are not expensive either. So you decide when and where. You can go and see the hospitals by yourself.

luismtzzz, do you have any links I should be looking at? Been searching google, but I'm not sure what exactly to be looking for. googling "Mexican hospitals", ect. Is there some specific site I should be looking at?

Can you make a topic about medical tourism in Mexico, Luis? I bet that would help A LOT of people. No rush, and thank you in advance.

Well enlighten me then. How did I get it wrong? Do you honestly know a lot of people who laugh in other's faces at the thought of dating that person, but still consider that person an equal?? Does that happen frequently in society? And what was the reason you rejected him anyway? Just his age? Or was he bald, or fat, or some other superficial thing that wasn't good enough for you? Poor? Be honest.

Of course. I can recommend my city Monterrey. Is huge and it is modern. Has some of the best hositals in Mexico.

I recommend Doctors hospital since it has a hotel and a mall across the street so you do not have to move alot around the city. You can take a cab directly from the airport and have all the services without leaving the same area.

Also Muguerza hospital (part fo the Christus medical system). Santa Engracia hospital. San Jose Hospital.

This is an example of a plastic surgeon that is certified by american plastic surgery boards.

Try reading my post and making an honest effort to read what I posted - not what you assume it says.

you know, you were sort of on the right track and then veered off on a 'women are so so so bad' tangent

Lots of very good information. Thank you luismtzzz. I am going to do a lot more research. I'm assuming if I'm serious, I will still have to save up some money. Plane tickets, expenses, ect. But it gives me sliver of hope to see there may be options somewhere. I would have never thought to look to Mexico. To think I may have a chance someday to do something for myself that would make me feel better is a very good feeling. Thank you very much.

How the heck do i know if you're attractive? I was just pointing out that older ladies can be sexy. I'm 28, but I've had crushes on older women. One of my professors a couple years ago absolutely killed me everytime I saw her. She was probably 40 or something like that. And she even looked like a mom because she was one. Had a big ole' mom butt. I don't think she realized how pretty she was. Or how cute her big ole mom butt was. And she was nice. Respectful to people. Smart. Sexy.

But maybe you just pecreived that as a compliment. And that's what was on the "right track" about it. That's OK. I know women like compliments, that's a universal truth.

But what i don't understand is why you think women need "time to prepare" to be approached for a date. Like it's a traumatic experience to be flattered by someone wanting to date you. I don't understand how you feel women need time to prepare themselves to treat a man with respect and dignity, and politely tell them if they're not interested. The way you make it sound, it's almost as if you think women should call the police or head to a women's abuse center if they get asked out on a date by a man they find unattractive.

And I don't understand how you could regard someone as an equal, but the thought of going on date with that person makes you laugh in thier face? I mean do you understand my confusion?

what I understand is that you are unable to read what I posted without twisting it into the opposite of what I wrote.

try reading it again.

look at what I bolded and made larger.

see if you can understand what I posted.

I have told you directly several times that that is not what I posted.

Stop twisting things.

stop freaking generalizing everything

I posted about one very specific situation. That doesn't mean every woman and every situation is the same.

Nope. don't get it. Instead of playing games, how about explaining it to me as if i'm a young child?

But more interesting to me would be if you answered my question as to specifically what about this man (who was your "equal") was what you found unattractive about him. So much that the thought of going on a date with him caused you to laugh in his face.

Just for argument sake i'm going to assume your an attractive 50 year old woman. As a 28 year old male I've been working with you and developed a crush on you. I'm super nervous but get the courage up to ask you out. You then prceed to laugh in my face. Not only am I feeling rejected, but i probably also had some sense of respect for you because you're a bit older than me and probably what i would consider wiser. So now on top feeling hurt by being rejected by an attractive woman, I feel stupid because I looked up to her and she laughed in my face. probably thinks of me as a little boy.
