The Henry Ford of heart surgery: Devi Shetty's business model delivers
cheap medical care
by: Geeta Anand
From: The Wall Street Journal November 21, 2009
HAIR tucked into a surgical cap, eyes hidden behind thick-framed
magnifying glasses, Devi Shetty leans over the sawed open chest of an
11-year-old boy, using bright blue thread to sew an artificial aorta
onto his stopped heart.
As Dr Shetty pulls the thread tight with scissors, an assistant reads
aloud a proposed agreement for him to build a new hospital in the
Cayman Islands that would primarily serve Americans in search of
lower-cost medical care. The agreement is inked a few days later,
pending approval of the Cayman parliament.
