Mark Batka, 46, a figure-skating coach from Lunenburg, Canada, had lived with a lipoma on his chest and back for ten years. When it reached about 3cm, bending hurt and he wanted it out — but at home the procedure was not covered by insurance and the queue was long. On his first trip to China he joined a medical-travel group to Hainan and had it removed at Ruijin Hospital Hainan in June. Leaving the ward, he thanked the surgeon in Chinese.
46 岁的 Mark Batka 是加拿大卢嫩堡的花滑教练，胸背部的脂肪瘤跟了他十年。长到约 3 公分后，弯腰会疼，他想切掉，但在当地这项手术不在医保内、费用高、排队久。第一次来中国，他随医疗旅游团飞到海南，6 月在乐城瑞金海南医院完成切除。出院时他特地用中文对主刀医生说了声“谢谢”。
