If it is 10 women out of thousands and it was all voluntary surgery what is the big scare? Is the risk any higher in the DR than in the Bronx? I am sure these types of surgeries are done there and I am also certain that there are infections at times there also. Is there any difference in the percentages? We need more facts.

I would not even have a hangnail removed in the D.R. Would take a flight to New York where there are regulations and you have a recourse in the event the procedure was not done properly.
The hangnail was just a facetious comment. However the truth is that no one should play with their health or the choice of the best care possible. Does the D.R. have Board certified physicians or malpractice insurance? Have heard from doctors in the Dominican Republic who have stated that they do not have the training, education or qualifications to be a physician in the States.That seems pretty harsh. A hangnail? There may not be the type of accountability that we are normally used to in a more developed nation but some of the doctors do perform their duties on-par with physicians in more develped countries.

....you have to be licensed in the USA, to practice there....I am not 100% sure of that because I believe that there are US doctors who attend or have attended medical school in the DR. I more think it has to do with the certifications and licensing issues in the US. Maybe someone who is knowledgeable can correct me. Yeah, I got the feeling that you were being facetious about the hang nail thing. All's well, it just gave me a good chuckle that's all.
Except for certain high-tech procedures, I have *zero* problem with Dominican surgeons, and my background is high-tech healthcare.I would not even have a hangnail removed in the D.R. Would take a flight to New York where there are regulations and you have a recourse in the event the procedure was not done properly.
