Comment concerning compression stocking is incorrect. Overwhelming evidence base for compression stockings continue to show benefit. Individuals need to make sure they know what they are talking about before writing incorrect generalizations.

Wow! This is simply a great idea. Reading it has inspired me to become a traveler soon. I have read numerous travel blogs but yours is simply superb!

Latest research indicates that compression stockings DO NOT help with blood clots. Please update your article with the most current information.

One of the ideas floated (by conservatives, mostly) to reduce American medical costs is to have surgeries done in foreign countries where they are charper.

Honest to goodness, they talk hopefully of the "advantages" of putting old, frail sick people on airplanes and sending them to India for knee and hip replacements and even heart bypass surgeries. I read that right here on USNWR on a different day.

Sound sensible to you?
