French Knees – Part One

21/07/2014

Here at France Surgery, we pride ourselves on offering the absolute best service possible when it comes to facilitating medical procedures in France for people living in other parts of the world.

Obviously, we love hearing from our patients about their experiences and this feedback usually comes in the form of an email, or in some cases a video. However, one of our especially internet-savvy ex-patients decided to document her whole experience in a blog.

Entitled French Knees, it spans a four-month period in which our patient begins her journey with France Surgery and ultimately ends up with a brand new knee.

One of the most poignant posts is this one right at the start of the blog. It outlines the torrid time our patient had with her left knee after a nasty boating accident. Following numerous visits to various specialists the solution was clear: a total knee replacement was needed.

But in her native Canada this meant a 12-18 month wait, maybe longer – a timeframe that was simply unacceptable because of the pain she was experiencing and the increasing lack of mobility.

It was then that one of her daughters who lives in France suggested they explore the possibility of having the procedure performed there. After all, she had heard that France was becoming a popular destination for medical tourists.

They promptly investigated the options on a medical tourism website and were recommended to contact us here at France Surgery. This is where their medical journey with us began.
