If we encounter complications during the surgery, can I take legal action against the doctor?
The concept of malpractice lawsuits is unique only to America and is not acceptable business practice in other countries. Even with the most common surgical procedures, there are certain risks that your doctor will discuss with you, and every possible precaution is taken to give you the highest rate of success. For patients concerned about not having legal recourse in a foreign country, they can buy “adverse outcome” insurance in America before they leave home.
