I love listening to radio documentaries while at the computer and often search for stories about India. Recently I happened upon this very interesting program about people traveling to India for medical treatment.
The treatment I have received for several years in the USA has been a travesty, at least in relation to the injury caused by my cosmetic surgery, which encompass all of my medical conditions. I have been meet with denial and deceit at every turn the so-called "best surgeons" in this country.
The more I searched the Internet for information about patients having surgery in India, the more my hope is rekindled in thinking that this may be the only way I will ever get the chance to be treated in an unbiased manner. I am just beginning my research, but would appreciate opinions of my iLand friends if you have any information to share with me about the best hospitals, etc. My surgery would require a plastic surgeon with special skills in ENT/head/neck surgery, as my problems are not cosmetic but functional.
I did not realize until hearing this radio documentary and following the Internet path from there that people from all over the world travel to India for medical treatment and all the information I found to date is overwhelmingly positive. Every patient testimony I read expresses a tremendous difference in the way they were treated by medical professionals in India compared to the US. They all said Indian doctors and nurses were far more dedicated and truly interested in the well being of the patient. I have spent the past 3 days conducting this research online and have not found a single patient reporting a negative experience.
This makes me feel hopeful. I just hope I have not waited too late and have the physical strength to manage the needful things to make this happen.
