[laughs] yes, i'm that flo. aren't you sweet! licensed phone-ups available 24/7. call 1-800-progressive. good morning. it is wednesday, october 9th 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." insult on top of tragedy. the rush to help families of fallen troops suffering new pain because of the government shutdown. the future of the fed. what to expect from the woman chosen to replace ben bernanke. plus would you leave the country to save money on surgery? peter greenberg travels to one of the hot spots for medical tourism. but we begin this morning with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. whenever we do these things it hurts our credibility around the world. it makes us look like we don't
7:01 am
have our act together. >> wall street pays the price for d.c. dysfunction. >> the dow is down 481 points since the government shutdown started. >> president obama will nominate janet yellen. >> meanwhile because of the government shutdown they denied benefits to the families of the fallen american soldiers. >> i'm embarrassed. >> homes have been evacuated. no one has been hurt. >> this morning an nypd detective is due in court. he's the latest suspect in the motorcycle road rage incident. >> he was caught on video pounding on the range rover. >> we're hearing for the first time from the father of the mississippi 9-year-old who managed to stow away on the flight to las vegas. >> delta has a new promotion. kids 9 and under fly free no questions asked.
7:02 am
>> they rally outside the capitol building. >> not only are they jumping off bridges. they're jumping out of hot air balloons. >> all that -- >> they're moving along to the american league championship. >> some controversy in the motor city. the fans reach out over the railing. >> -- and all that matters -- >> the obama care. >> it's the law. >> unconstitutional. >> even though the supreme court deemed it constitutional. >> they still don't know what's in the bill. >> the supreme court didn't read the bill. i feel the same way. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> starbucks released a new hybrid dessert. >> if you eat enough of them you get a combination of diabetes and heart disease. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is brought to you by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs
7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. i'm starting to wonder how long this shutdown is going to go on. >> the conflict continues. today is the ninth day of the government shutdown. outrage is rising over the grieving military families. the pentagon says during the shutdown it cannot give financial assistance to relatives of servicemembers killed in combat. >> now secretary chuck hagel said he'll attend that ceremony. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. in all, 17 servicemen and women have been killed since the start of the shutdown and normally their families would get $100,000 from the military within 36 hours to help pay for immediate needs but now those payments like everything else associated with this shutdown has been caught up in a partisan feud. military death benefits enable grieving family members to
7:04 am
travel to dover air force base to greet their loved ones' flag-draped caskets returning from overseas. the money also helps pay for the funeral. but for army sergeant hawkins, first lieutenant jennifer moreno and 15 others, the money isn't there because congress is still fighting over how to fund the government. >> i say to those families your government has let you down in the time of your need. there's no excuse for this. >> reporter: luckily there are guys like jim regan. regan's son james was killed in iraq in 2007 which led him to start the lead the way fund. now he's vowing to fill the void left by a crippled government. >> you can't expect a family that sacrifices their child, all right, or their young man or their wife and not be able to step up and take care of them.
7:05 am
it's morally -- morally wrong. >> others have stepped up too, including the fisher house foundation, which is dedicated to giving wounded troops and their families a place to stay while they heal but now says it will pay the full $100,000 per family during the shutdown. >> it was a no-brainer. we needed to bridge the gap not only for the families but because the government was not doing what they were supposed to do. >> reporter: some top house republicans including speaker boehner view the military itself is to blame for the lapse in benefits, not congress. >> we gave broad authority to the department of defense to pay all kinds of bills, including this. and frankly i think it's disgraceful that they're withholding these benefits. >> reporter: republicans argue that the bill congress passed last week to pay the troops during the shutdown also covered these benefits. pentagon lawyers did agree, but either way, the house is going to vote yet again today to
7:06 am
explicitly authorize these benefits while democrats, norah and charlie, say the best way to deal with this is to reopen the entire government, no strings attached. >> all right nancy. thank you. charlie, i find this story outrageous. i was just with a father yesterday. he has a 26-year-old son who served overseas and he didn't get his $500 veterans disability check and he was calling his parents for money for $500. >> you see how they're trying to react to that. it's clear evidence that the country feels very strongly about people who go in harm's way and that nothing else that happens should affect them. >> and this idea that it's not affecting them the shutdown is not a big deal. if you reach out to most americans, they're feeling this already, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. >> absolutely. this morning two republican congressional leaders are putting blame for the gridlock square on the president. house majority leader eric cantor wrote in the "washington
7:07 am
post." in "the wall street journal," house budget committee chair paul ryan says the president has negotiated before and he can do so now. meanwhile president obama is putting new pressure on the gop. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, charlie and norah. the president at his press conference yad said he would negotiate with republicans but only after they unconditionally reopen the government and increase the amount the government can borrow to finance its $17 trillion debt, the last part to avoid a government default. as for that itself the president offered this. >> to all the american people i apologize that you have to go through this stuff every three months it seems like. >> reporter: president obama was talking about frequent washington squabbles over dollars and cents. the president said it was time to break the new pattern of congress threatening to default to contract concessions on spending or even his new health care law. >> we can't make extortion routine as part of dmochlkt
7:08 am
democracy doesn't function this way and this is not just for me. it's also for my successors in office, whatever party they're from. they shouldn't have to pay a ransom either for congress doing its basic job. >> reporter: house speaker boehner said the president will eventually have to back down. >> there's going to be a negotiation here. we can't raise the debt ceiling without doing something about what's driving us to borrow more money and to live beyond our means. >> reporter: house republicans say the partial government shutdown can end and default can be averted if the president will agree to talk about reducing the deficit without raising taxes. >> the president's position that, listen we're not going to sit down and talk to you until you surrender, is just not sustainable. it's not our system of government. when it comes to the debt limit, i agree with the president. we should pay our bills. i didn't come here to shut down the government. i certainly didn't come here to default on our debt. >> reporter: but the president
7:09 am
dismissed any budget talks that did not at least include some higher taxes. i don't know why democrats right now would agree to a format that takes off the table all the things that they care about, and it's confined the things that the republicans care about. >> reporter: the president said a default caused by the failure to raise the government's borrowing authority could create economic disaster but despite that, they believe they can pay the government default and bondholders over time. it was designed in part to scare republicans out of that belief. it didn't appear to work so charlie and norah, the standoff is likely to last several more days. >> thanks major. janet yellen is set to lead the fed following ben bernanke. anthony mason joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> who is janet yellen? >> she is 67 years old.
7:10 am
i think you can make the argument she's the most experienced nominee to the fed chair. she joined the fed back in '94. she headed the san francisco fed. she's been vice chair since 2010. in between that she taught at u-cal berkeley. if you want to add more she's married to a nobel prize winner on economy who she met in the fed cafeteria. she sat alongside ben bernanke for the last three to four years and she's kind of a co-art together the policy we've seen. she's a democrat. he's a republican. but they've basically been together. >> we now have a woman who's going to be the most powerful economic policy maker in the world. >> i think you can argue she's going to be the most powerful woman in all of american history. >> in all of the american -- >> if you think about it she's going to be head of the largest economy, the most important economy in the world. yeah, i think you can make the
7:11 am
case. >> who would be second? >> well that would be -- >> what about bond buying which is everybody's concern? >> i think the big concern is what happens in washington, which is ultimately going to affect -- that's janet yellen's problem almost right away. we expected the fed to start cutting back on stimulus right about now. they didn't do it in september. i think part of the reason they waited is because they were waiting for this to happen. >> clear sailing in washington? >> it looks that way. but i don't want to answer that question. first of all, among economists her credentials are impeccable. you get no argument from there. >> anthony mason, thank you. a rupture in a national gas pipeline caused an explosion overnight in northwest oklahoma. it sent flames more than 50 stories into the sky. the massive fire could be seen more than 50 miles away in kansas. it forced several families from their homes. 75 firefighters from three states brought the fire under control. this morning no injuries are reported.
7:12 am
authorities are still trying to figure out how it all happened. the government shutdown is hampering the response this morning to a salmonella outbreak. the cdc is recalling furloughed scientists to help find the source. more than 270 people in 18 states have gotten sick. usda blames raw chicken processed at foster farms in california. welcome. >> good morning. >> so how is this affecting us? >> we're very concern thad the furlough is having an impact. for one thing, no chicken right now is being recalled even though they've identified three different plants that may be producing contaminated chicken and sending it to the market. >> and how is that a result of the shutdown?
7:13 am
when it occurs, the state starts the breakdown. they then need to go to fda and usda to identify the food source. for the last week both experts at cdc, fda, and usda have all been furloughed so even though they're coming back in to work now at cdc, we still don't have full capacity for this investigation at usda we believe. >> what other foods? >> it's chicken coming out of three plants in california foster farm chicken producers. usda told us yesterday they're not quite sure whether -- you know, what type of product it is or what the labels are. but, again, this is unusual. by this point we often have a recall in place. a key issue here is that the anti--- the salmonella involved is antibiotic-resistant and
7:14 am
this salmonella is really too hot for consumers to handle in their kitchen. we would really recommend that if you have foster farms and you have any question you might want to bring it back for a refund. >> all right. thank you for that caroline smith dewaal. thank you. there's word that the white house is taking a major step in the bloodshed in egypt. the u.s. is expected to announce today they're going to suspend military aid three months after the first democratically elected president. margaret brennan is at the state department. good morning. >> good morning to you, norah and to charlie. how to deal with egypt since the military military military coup has been one of the most vexing since the new administration. hundreds of military aid to egypt is being held back. of the $1.3 billion the u.s. gives egypt each year half of
7:15 am
that has already been handed over. the remaining $585 million is effectively suspended. the administration is withholding that aid due to the action of the egypt-lead military regime. since the army ousted mohamed morsi from power in july hundreds have died in political violence. 69 were killed just this sunday. in the last three months, the government has arrested nearly 2,000 people mainly morsi supporters. the u.s. has urged the egyptian government to quickly hold elections and make democratic reforms. neither has happened. the u.n. addressed two weeks ago, president obama acknowledged the importance of the relationship between the two countries but said that the it was in question. >> the united states will maintain a relationship with the government but we have not proceeded with the deliver
7:16 am
realize certain military systems, and our support will depend upon egypt's progress in pursuing a more democratic path. >> reporter: but any suspension of u.s. support will likely have little financial impact. oil-rich gulf countries including saudi arabia have pumped in $7 billion worth of new financial aid. the state department says no final decisions have been made. the policy's under review. we expect to get some details in the coming days but the administration is walking a fine line. they are not cutting off the egyptian military but they're also saying we won't accept the status quo. >> all right margaret. thank you. another big potential development is on the way this morning from iran. what is the news that iran is preparing this package this proes posal, this offer to limit its nuclear program. >> well if iran agrees it would be a significant step and the u.s. is enthuseiastic about
7:17 am
that. we dough 'do know that iran plans to make a concrete proposal next tuesday in geneva and the president expects them to respond to a previous offer like haulgt production of weapons-grade material, but that's on the table. we don't know how many. bag question here at home is will congress allow the administration to lift some of the sanctions. >> very important point. thank you. and new jersey governor chris christie is facing an easy campaign. the two face off last night in a debate and moderator christine johnson of our new york station wcbs wanted to know if christie plans to run for president in 2016. >> i'm not going declare tonight, christine, iffer you or anybody else that i am or am not running for president.
7:18 am
i don't think anybody in america of state of new jersey to say what they're going do. i can walk and chew gum at the same time. i can deal with this job and deal with me future and that's exactly what i will do. >> he said it offer as roadmap for republicans nationally. >> that will not be the first time he's asked that question. >> no doubt, no doubt. time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. "the new york times" says libya gave tacit approval in the raid. one was over the capture of al libi in tripoli. the other was planned in hopes of finding a suspect in the benghazi consulate attack. united states says libya consented weeks or perhaps even months ago. the "washington post" says the cia plans to begin recalling thousands of furloughed employees back to work today. the director of the agency has a concern on the unseen impact of

we'll look at what his taggings command top dollar. plus new stories on health. could living near an airport increase your chances of heart disease. we're going to talk with dr. david agus. that story ahead. one suspect is an undercover police detective. he's allegedly seen on video hitting and kicking the suv before the driver was attacked. our senior correspondent john miller is a former deputy commissioner with the new york police department. good morning. >> good morning. >> he's four days later being charged. >> it's bad day for the nypd. remember this is a story that doesn't start out as a good day because they had a detective on the scene who was undercover, took no action to intervene and waited four days to come forward and say i was there. that got worse yesterday when they reviewed the videotapes this week that they received from other sources other than the you tup video.
7:32 am
that see him banging out the back window of the suv during the incident that led up to the man. that changed the calculus to is it a departmental matter to a criminal matter. >> also is there evidence he lied and did not come forward. >> right. the story he gave was i was there but i wasn't involved and this certainly took a turn yesterday going from well, will he be suspended to he's under arrest. >> we're watching this unfold. this thing is growing every day. they're identifying them bit by bit. >> it is. and think that the police under the investigation may expand also. you have a possible universe of five, maybe six officers whose identities are known who may have at one stage or another been riding with this group or may or may not have been there for different -- >> five or six officers. >> that's right. so you've got the one who was
7:33 am
arrested yesterday, you have another undercover officer from the internal affairs division who was there for part of it. two officers who were identified as being there but not necessarily the assault, maybe somewhere earlier and you have yet one more after that. so they're going to be going through this process in order to say who was where, who did what who saw what? >> i mean doesn't it beg the obvious question? what are five or six officers doing as part of this bike gang? >> this wasn't a bike gang per se. this was a day where motorcycles were -- this is their marauding through new york day and it involves a number of motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts. this group on the west side highway wasn't all one group. they seemed to have found each other and were riding together and this got out of control. >> we talked about this before. is there really a creed within -- if you're undercover and there's violence you try to stop the violence. >> if you're undercover one of your primary jobs is not to
7:34 am
break cover. that doesn't mean you can't intervene and say let's stop this. you don't jump out and say i'm a secret police officer. the thing here is he wasn't intervening heefrm he was part of it. there's something else we haven't discussed. he's an undercover in intelligence operations, deep terrorist cases, organized crime groups. there's a case where they may have two years in it where the bad guys just looked up and said, hey, we haven't seen this guy, where is he and when his name and face comes out, it won't be the same face and name they know. >> and a lot of hard work down the drain. >> now they have to go to a plan b for. >> all right. john miller thank you. and congress gets a status report this morning on the affordable care act. the healthcare.gov website

7:40 am
great artworks of the 21st century? if so, you're in the wrong place. you should be looking at a stencil of a dog peeing on a hydrant. >> of course, street artists face liability. many of the banksy new york pieces have already been tagged or defaced. some building owners have painted right over it. >> the last thing i want is for my building to be vandalized and its value to skyrocket. >> reporter: banksy is in on the joke. >> he's saying don't take me too seriously. he's kind of laughing all the way to the bank. a separate location or installation is expected each day and each location is announced on the artist's website but he only gives a
7:41 am
general vicinity so it's a bit of a scavenger hint. >> i don't support the public defacing of buildings but i'm very intrigued by him. >> if it's art, it's okay? >> i'm a little bit torn. what do you think? >> i'd like to see it. i like the creative outpouring. i've heard of the guy for years vrk very interest. she. >> there's a surpriseing new heart risk caused by noise. what it could mean for you. it's a study out of harvard. that's next on "cbs this morning." [ male announcer ] this is jim, a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts
7:42 am
jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like
7:43 am
bleeding unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

good morning, charlie, good morning, gayle. good morning, everybody. it's it's it's 8:00 a.m. congress faces outrage while charities try to make up the difference and while the debate over obama care continues some americans are leaving the country to find affordable treatment. we'll look at the risks and advantages of medical tourism. and why do americans still admire president kennedy so much after 50 years? a revealing look at jfk's white house. but first here's a look at
8:01 am
today's "eye opener" at 8:00. normally their families would get $100,000 from the military within 36 hours. now those payments like everything else associated with this shutdown has been caught up in a partisan feud. >> it's morally -- morally wrong. >> the president said he would negotiate with republicans but only after they unconditionally reopen the government. >> who is janet yellen? >> i think you can argue she's going to be the most powerful woman in american history. she ee going to be in charge of the united states in economy, the largest economy, the most important economy in the world. >> and they see their own detective allegedly banging out the back window during the incident that led up to the man being dragged from the car. bad day for nypd. how dwrou describe banksy's
8:02 am
art? >> he's kind of laughing all the way to the bank. last week the experts at cdc, fda, and usda have all been furloughed. >> folks, this shutdown has made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. although that could just be a reaction from fuzzy shrimp. >> reporter: this morning's "eye opener" presented by benefiber. >> i'm charlie rose along with gayle king and norah o'donnell. it's day nine of the government shutdown. more are feeling its effects. a salmonella outbreak in chicken now covers 18 states. also the fbi is working with a skeleton staff at its headquarters. officials say that is affecting training and other support functions. then yesterday 7,000 who handle veteran s
8:03 am
veterans' benefits have been furloughed. >> nancy cordes is on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning. 17 service membership and women have been killed in combat since the start of the shutdown and normally their families would receive $100,000 from the military within 36 hours but those benefits have gotten caught up in a partisan feud. luckily some private foundations have stepped in to fill the void including one called army rangers lead the way run by jim regan. >> you can't expect a family who sacrifices their child, right, or their young man or wife and not be able to step up and take care of them. it's morally -- morally wrong. >> reporter: regan's son james was killed in iraq in 2007. house speaker john boehner argues that the bill that congress passed last week to pay mill tai members during a shutdown also covered these benefits but pentagon attorneys
8:04 am
say they've looked at the law and they disagree so the house is going to pass another bill today explicitly authorizing these payments. democrats argue the best way is to fund it no strings attached. >> thank you, nancy. no high-level negotiations are scheduled to end the budget standoff but president obama and john boehner say they're waiting for the other side to back down but some observers are seeing the first signs of a compromise. john dickerson is in washington. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> evidence of a possible compromise? >> there's a little opening in the window but not enough to get your fingers through. there would be some negotiations while they figure out the spending ideas. they want to lift the debt limit with no negotiations.
8:05 am
the next hurdle would be to get the republicans to agree to that. to do that you would have to have the negotiations be binding and have detail the kind that the president probably won't agree to. >> do you think both sides are trying to save face? >> the polls show that everybody's face is getting ugliery with this. the republicans are fairing worse. i think they're trying to find an exit but basically they're trying to save face and blame the other guy. but they've been stuck in that for a while. >> peeker john boehner has told some of his fellow republicans he has something up his sleeve to end this whole thing. what is that something? >> well he said that before. remember he had plan b during the fiscal cliff talks, plan this his conservatives rejected. part of it was to buy time.
8:06 am
it's to put pressure on the president. clearly in the prs conference yesterday the president is feeling a bit of the pinch saying i'll negotiate, just not on the spisk debt limit. i'm not sure there are any mysteries here that john boehner has got in his back pocket. >> do you think we're close to a turning important? you have the university of commerce. and then you have these outrageous storying about veterans not getting their benefits. do you think something's about to change? >> i don't know. a lot of expert who say a debt limit would be disastrous some say, oh no. i think what the experts say, if you're flying in a plane, if the tail comes off, yeah, a it won't crash immediately but pry torization won't come quick.
8:07 am
so that kind of scenario that people are talking about should put pressure on lawmakers but they're not budging much. >> all right. thank you very much john dickerson. good morning. we've got gray skies in the area. temperatures in the mid 50s. first warning doppler weather radar shows us a pretty good little slug of moisture pressing itself up the eastern sea board. this is not going to be a furious amount of rain but gray skies and damp conditions. showers this afternoon 65. over night 52. much the same tomorrow, rain and 59. rain out half a century after jfk's asass nation we're learning new details about his presidency. we'll take you inside the white house. plus "all that mattered" in 1985. the lasting tribute to a music

the rising cost of health care is causing some americans to find cheaper health care abroad. that's leading to one of the fastest growing sectors in the travel industry medical tourism. peter greenberg is with us. good morning. >> good morning, norah. americans spend more on health care than any other nation and they're causing uninsured or
8:17 am
underinsured, many times at a fraction of the cost. 66-year-old john wilson first came to panama on vacation when he heard about the country's first-class health care system. >> when i was at the airport and met other people coming to panama, they were talking about the medical system here. >> wilson a retired telecom worker from atlanta was told he'd need dental implants an expensive procedure his insurance didn't cover. after extensive research he ended up at panama city. still he wasn't convinced. >> so what did you do? >> i sat down and sat in the main lobby and i would watch people coming out and ask them about the quality of care they got here. they all raved about it. >> before you opened your mouth, you depended on word of mouth. >> absolutely absolutely. >> in colombia and vietnam hip

8:19 am
>> i do rounded every day. room by room to touch and see how the patient's doing. >> for some people traveling abroad for medical reasons is not just a money saver but a way to receive treatments not available at home. susan sportsman came here from texas for stem cell treatmentings not approved by the fda. she hopes they'll help cure her arthritis, at least in the short term. >> what i invested here i expect will be a short gain in the long run because i'll be on medications. i won't be under medications. i won't have to have joint replacement, so forth and so on. >> and if worse comes to worse, it's not a bad postcard. >> it's not. it's not bad place. >> finding this institute not only through word of mouth but checking it through a national
8:20 am
review board. some of the procedures require a great deal of aftercare. fars susan sportsman she told us she's pain-free and doing well and she plans to return to panama for additional treatment, and, get this a vacation in the next three months. >> peter, thank you. good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me on. >> you say you find very few benefits in medical tourism. why? >> you know, there are benefits in terms of cost but you take an additional risk by going somewhere where you're not sure of the quality you're getting. you're another sure of the accreditation of the institution and you're taking a risk. if something goes wrong, then what do you do? >> why are things so much cheaper? >> obviously we have a very aggressive legal system. so liability is a tremendous
8:21 am
cost. bay bore is cheaper. a lot of our call centers are being exported there. perhaps the implants are cheaper but we don't know what they are. >> how do you find out, though if -- better question. are there some things that are good for medical tourism and some that are not? heart trance plants ought to have some reservation. >> there's risk to any surgery and that's the point you have to drive home. even cosmetic surgery as we learned from some famous people's parents having dade from it. u you can die. you really have to waive that against the benefit of saving money. >> are you saying they should. go overseas? >> i can't say that.
8:22 am
some do very well. eesk though the risks are small, the consequences are very large. >> back to charlie's question. i thought that was a good one. if you were going to do it for instance what would you do? >> i know any surgery has risks. >> personally unless i knew personally the physician and i knew the accreditation of the physician, no i would not. >> same with the guy who's standing outside the waiting room what did you think, what did you think doesn't seem the best way. >> how was it? i don't know you, i don't know the doctor. if somebody was thinking about doing it what would be the top recommendation? >> representative the facility and the physicians. a lot of these physicians say they were trained in the united states. that might mean they came for one month and still say they did
