NOTES

Today more people travel to Hungary for dental care than to any other country in Europe. The fascinating story of how Hungary became Europe's dental chair is a case study in medical tourism, which has become a growing multi-billion-dollar industry - exploding in places as varied as India, Brazil, Korea, and Costa Rica - as countries rewrite laws to compete for patients.
