UNIT 9: TRAVELING AND CULTURE
My name‿ is‿ Ana. Two years‿ ago,│ I needed‿ an‿ operation‿ on my knee. In my country,│ the waitingwai-ding lis(t) was nine months,│ so I travelled‿ abroad for treatment.
The clinic was clean‿ an(d) modern,│ an(d) the doctor spoke‿ English. The operation was cheap compared to home:│ 4,000 dollars,│ an(d) the hotel was 30 dollars‿ a night. I stayed for two weeks,│ and‿ I also visited the cityci-dy,│ because‿ I had free days.
Medical tourism‿ is popular now:│ some people go for dental treatment,│ some for‿ an‿ operation. The quality is‿ often good,│ but you mus(t) be careful. If something goes wrong,│ you are far from home,│ and‿ insurance‿ is har(d) to use. My dentist‿ also says:│ do not choose‿ only the cheapes(t) clinic.
