What is driving a famous plastic surgeon from Philadelphia to expand his medical practice to Macau, China and the Caribbean island of Grenada?

Doctors, like people in all professions, make decisions based on what’s practical for the future of their businesses and their families.  Doctors in the U.S. are admitting publically that they are changing the way they practice, where they practice, and even retiring early or getting out of medicine entirely.  (Source:  Deloitte’s 2013 survey .)
