Bankok, Thailand is where many of my expat (in China) acquaintances go
for American-quality medical care for very low prices. I understand
they have a pizza hut and McDonalds in the lobby of one of the
hospitals.

Check medicalcountries.org for a list of costs,doctors,and hospitals.
Prices in India are as much as 1/20 the cost of the U.S. medical
charges. Air Fares  and the solution to other medical travel problems
are also give.

The best hospital in Bangkok, Thailand is Bumrungrad:
http://www.bumrungrad.com/

I've been there a few times (for minor interventions), and it seems to
be better, and doctors more professional than most hospitals I've seen
in the U.S. Actually, I've seen a specialist who graduated from a top
U.S. med school (Ann Arbor) last time I've been there. Of course,
you'll have to check what doctor is available for your specific
ailment.

Watch out if you need large blood transfusions -- some blood types are
very rare in Thailand (but common among Caucasians).
