Organ transplant tourism. "I left my heart in San Francisco... and my lower disgestive tract in Calcutta"

A man tells a customs officer that he is an organ transplant tourist, that he left his heart in San Francisco and his lower digestive tract in Calcutta. Refers to the practice of transplant tourism, where patients travel to countries such as China, India, and the Philippines for their transplant operations. These transplant tourists may be subject to sub-standard surgical techniques, poor organ matching, unhealthy donors, and post transplant infections, prompting U.S. health care institutions to refuse treatment of these patients upon return to the U.S. Medical associations have responded with transplant tourism policies and guidelines to advise clinicians on the ethics of caring for transplant tourists.
