In places like Canada, there is true socialized medicine. No HMO, no co-pay, just government run facilities throughout the country. Doctors there are paid well compared to other professions , but by no means can they achieve the monetary rewards that private practices in the US can bring. Enter elective surgery. Well, lets look at some facts.
Hair restoration is considered minor surgery much like a dental procedure.
Most doctors won't touch this procedure, therefore malpractice insurance should be minimal. In fact, many law suits against hair doctors are based on civil misconduct rather than medical malpractice. Most simply end in settlements of monetary refunds or free procedures. To my knowledge, no one has ever died during a hair restoration procedure. A major plus if your a doctor who doesn't like playing the odds.
