In this "Vanguard" dispatch from the field, correspondent Adam Yamaguchi checks in while traveling to Mexico to meet up with Lisa, an American preparing for leg surgery. Already more than $1 million in medical debt, Lisa struggled to find any additional assistance from U.S. hospitals and has been forced to seek surgical help in foreign countries.

Watch the premiere of "Under the Knife Abroad," Monday, November 14 at 9/8c on Current TV.

"Vanguard" is Current TV's no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance.
