Chap I worked with used to fly back to Terhan for his dentist as well as visiting family - said his old dentist was cheaper and better than UK. Just wondering if part of that is simply cost of living difference?
- dalbasal 9y agoSure. A lot of medicine is pretty much a simple service business, economically. You are paying for the services of a person. These tend to be very locally priced. But.... Medicine is not really an ordinary market, most places. It's not really a market in the US and Europe, in the sense that prices are set like other services. A big determinant of costs tends to be how well the system works.
- sjg007 9y agoWell UK dentistry has a different treatment philosophy than the USA for sure.. not sure if Iran is the same. The UK would claim the US overtreats. This is changing though due to private insurance va the NHS and a desire for white straight teeth.
