There are many options. India is a place I might go for cardiac

This is WHERE the 'choice' .. part .. comes in.
"I don't have to wait for nobody." / choice.
Well, the laser machining R+D shop that I worked at used to do very,
very high end development of all sorts of cardiac devices, and we
were at one time the largest supplier of laser cut arterical stents,
balloons, braids, etc. When it came time for testing, almost all of
our devices were put on a private jet where they quickly made their
way to India, and sometimes Costa Rica. These were FDA mandated
tests, so the quality of the work must have been very high to be sending
these one of a kind devices all the way there when in theory they could
have been implanted down at the Mayo, etc. just a hour or so away.
I heard that part of it was the lack of mal-practice attorneys, but I
never really believed that as any experimental implant and surgery
is going to protected from that. I do know that in a few cases, we
laser machined some massive stents about 300% larger than an
adult human model, and these were to placed into elephants. There
are some useful reasons for doing a large research sample, but in
the same breath, we also made some of the smallest that I've ever
seen, and those were for human implant so the must have gone
into infants.
Anyway, my $.02, I'm in Canada and extremely happy that this is
the place where I'll be growing old, and maybe need some of this
work to be done on myself..
