On a lighter note, it isn't for nothing that we've the Red Cross symbol on the Switzerland flag. The reason is clear.
Clear? Not for me, care to elaborate?
One is 700 years old and one is not even 200, and it's not in the order you think it is.
Good piece of info shared - I went to read why Switzerland flag has red cross symbol on it, thanks for the share.
The Red Cross simply got this symbol because it was established in Geneva at the initiative of Swiss citizens so they simply used the flag of the country where they did it. The Turkish flag, for example, has the same relation with the Red Crescent and as you can see in that table there is no trace of it in the top 20 countries, Israel uses also a different design based on their own flag.
Just like the guy above you've got it backward.
A short summary on what went down.
1. Four Americans crossed the border and went into Mexico for a medical procedure(not sure all of them needed the procedure)
One thing about this, it was a cosmetic medical procedure:
The tummy-tuck surgery sought by McGee generally aims to remove excess skin from the abdomen and tighten the muscles in that part of the body.
Dental and cosmetic surgeries are the top reasons for these trips, so it's not like people go there only for life-threatening procedures and more for ones that are not that needed. One article claimed that every 1/20 is a breast augmentation procedure, so this would paint a completely different picture.
