Aussies turn to Indian Orthopedic surgeon for Joint Replacement

Dec. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Socialist health care wherever practiced is bound to have fall out of individuals. It leads to rationing, poor quality and care, long waiting times etc. No wonder there are many Europeans scouring the internet for Joint replacement in India. Recent trends suggest that Australians are now beginning to embrace this practice. Brian Blake, an Australian citizen had his knee replacement performed by Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam, an orthopedic surgeon in Chennai, India, http://www.kneereplacement.co.in and http://www.kneeindia.com.  Other Australians living in Australia or elsewhere are seeking joint replacements from the same surgeon. This practice is going to pick up momentum.
Australia has embraced socialist Medical care just like Great Britain. Government hospitals have long waiting lists for surgery. Those who can afford it bypass this and seek private treatment. Those others with no insurance or ones who don't care for this look for treatment abroad.
Brian was very wary of getting his knee operated in Australia. His father suffered a surgical mishap and was paralyzed immediately after the surgery. Since Brian felt that his case was too complicated to be handled by Australian doctors, he sought help from Dr. A.K.Venkatachalam at the Madras Joint Replacement Center.
Brian narrates his experience in these two videos.
