(also: health tourism)
Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry that combines two of our favorite things: travel and healthcare. People from all over the world are seeking medical treatments abroad and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Why medical tourism? For starters, the cost of medical procedures can be significantly lower in other countries making it an attractive option for those who are looking to save money on their medical expenses. In addition, many countries offer cutting-edge medical treatments and technologies that may not be available in your home country.

So what's it like to be a medical tourist? Imagine hopping on a plane passport in hand and traveling to a foreign land in search of medical treatment. You might visit a modern hospital in a bustling city complete with world-class facilities and state-of-the-art technology. Or you might venture to a remote tropical location where you can recover in peace and tranquility.

Either way, the experience of medical tourism is often a unique blend of adventure, exploration, and healing. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture try new foods and make new friends. You may even discover a hidden talent for haggling at the local market or find that you have a knack for navigating public transportation.

Of course, medical tourism is not without its challenges. You may face language barriers, cultural differences and the stress of being in a foreign country without the support of your friends and family. However, with proper research and planning, these challenges can be overcome and you can have a truly rewarding experience.

So why not give medical tourism a try? Whether you're seeking medical treatment or simply looking for a new adventure, it just might be the trip of a lifetime. And who knows? You might even come back feeling better than ever.

n. The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding. The basis of logic is the syllogism, consisting of a major and a minor premise and a conclusion — thus:
Major Premise: Sixty men can do a piece of work sixty times as quickly as one man.

Minor Premise: One man can dig a post-hole in sixty seconds; therefore —

Conclusion: Sixty men can dig a post-hole in one second.

This may be called the syllogism arithmetical, in which, by combining logic and mathematics, we obtain a double certainty and are twice blessed.
