IN a US hospital? How can this be? The UN's WHO rated France's medical system "best in the world" in 2001. We are constantly told that Oh Canada is a model the US should aspire to. So where do big shots go to get their own medical care? Yeah... thought so.

That could be said of much of the Franco-American history the last 110 years.

In fairness he did not come to LA for his medical care. He had a disk operation on his neck by a “celebrity surgeon” who may have “botched” the operation. Hallyday flew to LA for business/personal reasons soon after the operation and then collapsed once there.

Only to point out that this is not a case of medical tourism - it’s a case falling ill while traveling.

Johnny’s illness has been cloaked in mystery since day one. He seems to have been far too ill to travel to LA for a business meeting, and was most likely flown to LA for more surgery, and medical treatment for infections contracted in a French Hospoitalk that did not respond to treatment.
