“Need a hip replacement? Got some bitcoins burning a hole in your wallet? Well, why not hop on a plane to Lithuania, where a local orthopaedic clinic has recently announced it will provide treatments in exchange for bitcoin. Nordorthopaedics, an orthopaedic surgery in Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital city, began accepting bitcoin payments earlier this month. The clinic employs 50 medical staff, including five surgeons. It serves a largely foreign clientele, with customers from Sweden, Russia, the UK and the US. According to Kirpa, many customers make the journey to Vilnius because the clinic charges lower fees than the facilities in their home country.”
