I would argue that may you could start a 'medical tourism company'.
You are the one place people look to for info. Could start as just a content business to begin, then could branch out to offering services.
I think one major obstacle is people don't know about it. How do you reach someone who wants or needs a procedure but wants to pay less for it? In that respect, a niche could be easier to start with and then expand from there.
Yeah, the one thing I have the most conviction on right now is that there is no "medical tourism guy" or media company. Content is currently the only path I see to a scalable global brand, because otherwise it is too sparse.
Even then, there's probably a case to be made for starting with a niche medical category.
Another approach would be starting a niche audience, such as nomadic techies and founders from America. Doing this might make it easier to build a community with enough overlap to create value for one another. Second, there's a case for just being the primary care provider for this group of people, which is a stable provider and source of truth across different locations and treatment categories.

Oh man this is MY JAM but I'm going on a weeklong silent retreat next week (haha very on-brand for being this type of person right???) I'll be on the lookout for future chances to meet up!

I'm enjoying getting to see your thought process about this hard problem!
Thank you! Hosting a neuro-tech meetup in a week, you might find it interesting! https://partiful.com/e/mgOwsGRhfIQMxw7eXc6P
