About Satori World Medical

With the rising cost of health care within the United States quite apparent, Satori® World Medical offers people an alternative approach to arranging medical treatment. The company, headquartered in San Diego, California, and led by President and CEO Steven Lash, relies on a global network of hospitals to help reduce the cost of health care for individuals, insurers, employers, and financial sponsors. Through its Quality Assurance Program™, Satori World Medical seeks out the finest facilities around the world to minimize the economic burden on patients. The network offers medical services in Thailand, India, Costa Rica, Mexico, Singapore, Canada, and several other countries. With its approach, the company continues to serve as a leader in the globalization of health care. As medical and technological improvements are made throughout the world, many countries can offer advanced medical care without an inflated price. Satori World Medical takes advantage of this reality through its Health & Shared Wealth Program™. The company boasts a savings of 40-80% on surgical procedures compared to traditional domestic options. The cost includes airfare, hospital and physician fees, hotel accommodations, foreign ground transportation, and a personal accident insurance policy for the patient and a companion. Employers can share these savings with their employee (the patient) through options such as depositing a portion of the savings into a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) or providing meal per diems while the patient is traveling for surgery. Utilizing an HRA allows for reimbursement to an employee for qualified medical expenses and can be compatible with a qualified Health Savings Account or other model. In addition to cost savings, Satori World Medical strives to provide comprehensive customer service. Through the use of technology and highly trained staff, the firm offers patients an uncomplicated route for scheduling and receiving treatment. After a patient registers via its website or calls, a Nurse Patient Advocate from Satori will make contact to discuss the entire medical treatment process. Next, a Travel Care Coordinator will arrange all logistics of travel and the procedure. Once the date has arrived, patients will be greeted at the airport, escorted to the hotel, and checked in to the hospital the following day. Finally, once the procedure is completed and travel is authorized, patients will return home and consult with their local physician.

The Asian paradox: Why are Asians thinner than everybody else?

Asians consume so many noodles and white rice but still remain thin. Their diet consists mostly of carbs, but why are they still slimmer, healthier, and live longer than people from other countries?

People living in Asian countries eat a lot of vegetables and lead a healthy lifestyle. A typical day for most Asians living in the city involves waking up early, performing their morning rituals, making breakfast that consists of vegetables, fruits, meat, and rice or noodles, and walking, biking, or taking the train to work. Americans, meanwhile, wake up an hour before work, prepare easy-to-make breakfast such as cereal, bacon, pancakes, ham, and eggs, take a shower, and drive to work. Comparing the two, it can be seen that although Asians eat more carbohydrates than Americans, the former eats other types of healthy food and burns calories by doing their daily physical routines.

Following the Asians’ penchant for healthy living is a good idea for Americans who fear the effects of too much food intake and unhealthy lifestyle. For those who need medical help in losing weight and staying healthy, there are medical travel service companies, like Satori World Medical and Companion Global Healthcare, which provide world-class health care at a fraction of the cost.
