Thinking of traveling to India to get some medical procedures done, think again.

Traveling to India for medical procedures means taking a big risk in bringing back what is known as a superbug. This superbug is drug resistant. The superbug gene has been identified in 37 people who returned to the U.K. after undergoing surgery in India or Pakistan. Still thinking of getting that chin lift in India?

I think that it is fine to travel to India for touring but not medical procedures. The super bug sounds really horrible. I wouldn't think it would be all that safe to undergo a medical procedure in Pakistan. I live in the United Kingdom and we have a National Health Scheme. Of course it doesn't provide cosmetic surgery. I have heard of people visiting Poland to get dental treatment. That would be fairly safe for them I think.
