Reports that a lot of turkeys have died staying at home too. Scary.

People go to Turkey for cheaper aesthetic procedures, like new teeth. And clearly, like the UK, not everyone makes it out alive.

Every operation/procedure comes with risks no matter the country.

Turkey statistics say 640,000 medical tourists in 2021 alone. Makes for a 0.003% risk of death if all 22 were counted in that year as opposed to across nearly 4 years.

That's better odds on survival than most things.

Don't do it Tom.

You're 64 years of age and having Yeti like feet is normal for a man of your age.

Oh, fair point. UK apparently makes up between 3 and 7% of medical tourism globally, so if we say 5% that gets it up to 0.06% if all the deaths were in one year, it was across more than 3 so closer to 0.02%. Still better odds than elective surgeries in the UK from the look of it.

couple, us we him her.

They where probably vaccinated and we all know that the vaccine is the reason for all deaths these days.

Hit by a bus= vaccine

Shot=vaccine

Reaction to anaesthetic=vaccine

Mauled by a Bear= vaccine.

I don’t understand the obsession with Turkey for dentistry, it’s such poor quality work.

I had my wisdoms out in Thailand it’s well known they are the best in the world & much cheaper than Turkey - and much safer than the UK in terms of hygiene

I guess people have to weigh up the cheaper prices and lack of personal face to face aftercare after any op… if you need something done - better do it here than overseas

I can totally understand why people do it.

After having weightloss surgery & losing 10st, the excess skin I was left with made me feel worse than when it was padded out with fat!

I couldn't possibly afford UK cosmetic prices, so I went to Poland for a total of 6 surgeries over 3 years. I worked 2nd jobs & saved like a demon to pay the 15k I'm cash as I went along. In the UK, I probably would have spent 35k!!

The one thing I don't get is why people don't research the surgeon they're looking at, or the risks during & after the procedures. That isn't easy when these people aren't covered by the GMC, but it is possible to get an idea.

Nothing new here Tom, been happening for years with all surgery conducted overseas.

Some result from being discharged too early, sometimes back on a plane the next day. How many of us would have a surgical procedure in the UK then jump on a plane to Spain the next day.

Some have made a bad decision on choosing surgeon or clinic but does that mean we have bad decision making as a criteria for healthcare.

Think 90% of us would be refused if that was the case.

Bad decision on alcohol.

Bad decision on smoking.

Bad decision on drugs, recreational or prescribed.

Bad decision on diet, exercise etc

The list goes on and on.

So what about health conditions caused by smoking, drinking & obesity? Or accidents through extreme sports? Or caused some kind of accident through neglect or misadventure? The NHS don't judge- they just treat. It's what we pay for. Someone who has had an issue post treatment has every right to be seen on the NHS.

I myself had a mishap when I ripped open 20cms of stitches after a butt lift. A complete accident & the NHS were wonderful. I also needed a course of antibiotics when I got a minor infection after one of my surgeries- it wasn't down to poor treatment, just bad luck but again, my local surgery were only too glad to help.
