WSJ on Devi Shetty: The Henry Ford of heart surgery

good stuff. although it would have been better to call narayana hrudayala the arvind eye hospital of heart surgery.

and i am pretty sure the gratuitous references to m teresa could have been avoided without loss of relevance. or is it that white people can only understand in relation to henry ford and m teresa?

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.
