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.

logopoeia

artificialmayo
From Ezra Pound's 'the ABC's of Reading':

"LOGOPOEIA, 'the dance of the intellect among words', that is to say, it employs words not only for their direct meaning, but it takes count in a special way of habits of usage, of the context we expect to find with the word, its usual concomitants, of its known acceptances, and of ironical play. It holds the aesthetic content which is peculiarly the domain of verbal manifestation, and cannot possibly be contained in plastic or in music. It is the latest come, and perhaps the most tricky and undependable mode."

In the lower linked lecture, Ginsberg discusses the word, defining it primarily as the presence of wit whether present by puns, words with multiple definitions being purposefully utilized to some end, general witty arrangement, etc.

From wikipedia:
"Logopoeia or logopeia is defined by Pound as poetry that uses words for more than just their direct meaning,[1] stimulating the visual imagination with phanopoeia and inducing emotional correlations with melopoeia."

An easy example: "To live outside the law, you must be honest."

marc antony

trustycoffeemug
marcus antonious (83-30 BC) is a dead roman guy.

once a sidekick to julius caesar, whom he served faithfully as a general but also humiliated a few times by routinely turning up to the senate pig-bastard drunk (this got him into a pissing match with cicero).

when julius kicked the bucket, marc took over as big cheese and set to work thrashing his old master's assassins. however, he was beaten to the punch by augustus caesar, the adopted son of the late caesar, who managed to take control of rome while marcy went skulking around the eastern world looking for allies. this led marc antony to shack up with cleopatra vii, with whom he had a torrid love affair. this sordid romance came to an end when marc antony's armies were well and truly smashed in actium, and he committed suicide to escape octavian's reprisal.

a dead british guy named william shakespeare wrote a little ditty about it.

"Glowie" is short for GlowNigger which is when a member of law enforcement is so obvious, even though they are under deep cover.

Usually on an image board, but you can get the same effect by calling undercover cops Glowie.
