      Lean and friendly Dr. Robin Tattershall, above, offers a different kind of vacation at his Bougainvillea Clinic, left, overlooking Road Town, Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. You can, if you meet the doctor's approval, come away tanned, fit and with a new face or a different nose or figure. The clinic with its pool and Moorish arches was built to be a small, posh hotel.

      Eye operation: Eye surgeon Dr. Lionel Chisholm of Toronto Western Hospital says a research clinic here would provide a centre where he and other doctors could share information on eye treatment techniques with researchers. Because there is no eye research institute in Canada, those with disease or injures often travel to the U.S., the site of the nearest eye centres.
