In fact, 3 neighbor couples all drove up to Montreal a few years back for Lasix surgery there. They payed for a week vacation there (with money left over) from the savings.
Yeah I understand that New Zealand is the place to go for hip and knee replacements, plus a charming vacation for less than just the surgery here.
