		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, I drifted away from posting pages around Christmastime. It happens. Part of the problem was, and is, that Chapter 5 is chock-full of little tables giving sample search engine results for medical tourism terms.

		<description><![CDATA[Not that I think "real," paper books are going away entirely, anytime soon. But there will be less of them, and more digital books. The fact is, Beauty from Afar is one of those works that would have been better as an e-book, in some future time of e-book ubiquity.]]></description>

As it turned out, I didn't get quite that much and the advance payment mostly went for things like food and shelter.]]></description>

Chapter 4 Page 7 &#124; What Else is Out There?
I liked finishing the chapter with the comments of the Indian M.D. who was elected president of the International Society of Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery in 2005. Dr. Naresh Trehan has been a controversial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the conclusion of Chapter 4, I touch briefly on what is generally called complex medicine -- no disrespect to cosmetic surgeons intended. This has to do more with treatment of disease, life-saving surgery, etc. And, of course, medical travel includes such care as well ... though to date, at least for those who travel out of the United States, dentistry and cosmetic surgery remains the largest part of medical tourism. ]]></description>
