Is there a reluctance on the part of the medical profession in respect of people travelling abroad, or is it just that one cannot get an appointment following surgery or whatever treatment one gets abroad? Is that one of the challenges? Before travelling, what prep work does one need to do? Do one need scans? Do a person need her medical file? I presume it is a huge amount of work to try to get those files, access to the system and everything else if a person is chronically ill.
