medical tourist
Here are some important things to consider before deciding to become a medical tourist:

Quality of Care: Research the medical facilities and doctors that will be providing the treatments. Make sure to choose a reputable clinic or hospital and consider factors such as the quality of the facility, the qualifications of the medical professionals and patient reviews.

Cost Comparison: While medical tourism can often be less expensive than receiving treatments in your home country, it is important to compare the total cost of the treatments including travel expenses and any additional costs such as post-operative care.

Language Barriers: If you are not fluent in the language of the country you are traveling to, it is important to consider the language barriers you may face when communicating with medical professionals and navigating the healthcare system.

Availability of Follow-Up Care: Consider the availability of follow-up care in the country you are traveling to and make sure you have a plan in place for post-operative care if needed.

1.Legal Considerations: Research the laws and regulations surrounding medical tourism in the country you are considering and make sure you are aware of any potential legal implications.

2.Health Risks: Consider any health risks associated with traveling and undergoing medical procedures, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.

3.Travel Insurance: Make sure to have adequate travel insurance that covers medical expenses and any other related costs.

4.Cultural Differences: Be aware of cultural differences in the country you are traveling to and make sure you are prepared to navigate any cultural barriers you may face.

5.These are just some of the important things to consider before deciding to become a medical tourist. It is important to do your research and plan carefully to ensure a safe and successful medical tourism experience.

noumenon

the devils dictionary
That which exists, as distinguished from that which merely seems to exist, the latter being a phenomenon. The noumenon is a bit difficult to locate; it can be apprehended only by a process of reasoning — which is a phenomenon. Nevertheless, the discovery and exposition of noumena offer a rich field for what Lewes calls "the endless variety and excitement of philosophic thought." Hurrah (therefore) for the noumenon!

redress

the devils dictionary
Reparation without satisfaction.
Among the Anglo-Saxons a subject conceiving himself wronged by the king was permitted, on proving his injury, to beat a brazen image of the royal offender with a switch that was afterward applied to his own naked back. The latter rite was performed by the public hangman, and it assured moderation in the plaintiff's choice of a switch.

inflation

kivi
(noun): The ultimate magic trick, where prices rise, and your money vanishes, and nobody knows where it went. The government and the wealthy know the secret, but they ain't telling. Inflation, the ultimate way to redistribute wealth, and make the poor, poorer and the rich, richer, all while making the masses believe it's just a natural occurrence.

meerschaum

the devils dictionary
n. (Literally, seafoam, and by many erroneously supposed to be made of it.) A fine white clay, which for convenience in coloring it brown is made into tobacco pipes and smoked by the workmen engaged in that industry. The purpose of coloring it has not been disclosed by the manufacturers.
There was a youth (you've heard before,
This woful tale, may be),
Who bought a meerschaum pipe and swore
That color it would he!

He shut himself from the world away,
Nor any soul he saw.
He smoked by night, he smoked by day,
As hard as he could draw.

His dog died moaning in the wrath
Of winds that blew aloof;
The weeds were in the gravel path,
The owl was on the roof.

"He's gone afar, he'll come no more,"
The neighbors sadly say.
And so they batter in the door
To take his goods away.

Dead, pipe in mouth, the youngster lay,
Nut-brown in face and limb.
"That pipe's a lovely white," they say,
"But it has colored him!"

The moral there's small need to sing —
'Tis plain as day to you:
Don't play your game on any thing
That is a gamester too.
—Martin Bulstrode

Took Madam P. to table,
And there deliriously fed
As fast as he was able.

Intent upon its throatage.
"Ah, yes," said the neglected bride,
"You're in your table d'hôtage."
