    Would you leave the country too get an operation done if you knew It would be done better than here. also would money be a factor too.

    I don't need an operation. Just wondering.

    Depends on how much better. Cost is also a factor, of course. File under Medical Tourism.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I hope you'd be done better here but if you have to go,go.

    So you have to get an op done, and know it would be done better else where?



    The answer is in the question.

    Eh, are you attractive? I wouldn't do any OP anywhere unless I knew they were decent looking.

    I don't really care how you're done, by whom, or where...

    Why would you not get the best medical attention you could?

    I was thinking the same thing. I do need too get a second opinion on an operation I had a few yrs back. I feel I would be looked after some where else

    you're talking about ireland, where the population of 4.5 odd million have a certain level of healthcare. it makes very little sense to train and employ certain medical speciality professionals where they'd only see one or two cases every few years (the two kids from kerry with battens disease for example). so, yes, there are going to be surgeons in other countries who see many more cases, get much more exposure and be able to do the operation with more skill.
    it's the same reason we send some transplant cases to the uk.

    edit: there's also a good chance that if you went to the uk for a highly technical operation, that the surgeon would be irish. for some reason, a lot of the surgeons involved in groundbreaking cases in the uk are irish. like the guy who oversaw the separation of the conjoined twins from cork.

    I think you need to examine this a bit more closely and comprehensivly than "elsewhere = better". Healthcare in Ireland may not be generally well organised, but some of the people working here are at the top of their fields.

    Would consider getting a boob job alright.

    Boy, would that be cool, I'd play with those bad boys all day.
