An HD reality show taking viewers on a journey through medical travel
Los Angeles, CA - June 30, 2009 - HIGHLY ENTERTAINING TV, a multi- platform media production company, announces the television pilot "Foreign Operations", part of a series based on the burgeoning multi- billion dollar global market of medical travel for cosmetic, dental or life saving surgery. According to Deloitte, Americans will travel to foreign countries to undergo more than 2 million procedures in 2009 including critical care, fertility, obesity, orthopedic, dental and plastic surgery. Foreign Operations captures the desperation, the tension of entering a foreign "OR", and the foreign culture thrust upon our brave new patients as they seek medical procedures that they so desperately need to live.
"We are excited that Foreign Operations chronicles and educates about critical care & medical options available beyond their borders and the exotic travel aspect makes the show visually and culturally appealing." says Percy Lipinski, Host, Executive Producer, and Founder of Highly Entertaining TV.
Foreign Operations combines reality TV with exotic travel destinations showcasing the global hotbeds for the fast growing number of medical tourists. Each episode will feature an individual whether driven by life saving procedures, health improvement, self esteem or pure vanity.
