External Tibia with Dr. Sringari at Jane hospital in April 2015

Edit Post

Dr. Harry comes once a day in the morning, usually at around 10:30 if not around 12:00. He didn't come past 10:30. I was waiting thinking he comes around 12:00. Past 12:00 he didn't come. I was waiting. Past 12:30 he didn't come. I whatsapped him. No response. I was waiting and waiting. At 12:45 I called him, He switched off my phone immediately and gave me a message instantly saying " I'm not in Gurgaon". Now, I'm laughing...

About the food (part 2)

From the day of arrival to end of May, Food was provided from outside, the delivery service. Most of them were very spicy for me, I had curry, pasta, rice, soup, noodle,,The quantity and quality wise, I can't say that I enjoyed it so I asked to Harry to change a place to order. Harry took care of it and  changed a place, but still only little improvement is made..

I appreciate that he tried but I asked to Harry that from June 1st, I order whatever I want outside so give some money back for food. He gave me 10,000 INR for a month.

From July 1 st to middle of June, I ordered food outside as I proposed, most to Chinese. I had noodle, rice, soup, sometimes I ordered to hotel front, burgers, noodle, sandwich, also sometimes gave money to caretaker to get me some fruits or something.  Things got a lot better..

Since middle of June, the system went back to before, No money given to me but they prepares food. this time caretaker cooks food. you can see the pictures attached. He cooks very well. I sometimes give money to him when he goes to market to buy me fruits, milk, snacks,,,.

that's how it is.

Hello microman,

I am only taking Frexura. I don't know anything about the pills you're taking.

Again, I don't know external with Lon is dangerous. From I read in this diary it looked like a relatively safe method..

May I ask u where and by which doctor you had a surgery?

Edit Post

im with dr. mitkovic in serbia.

pills i take that he recomended do nothing, there just headache pills basically, your pills at least make sense, a muscle relaxant.

ye its safe  but is  a small chance of knee  pain, see medium drink of waters recovery threads for more info.

Quote from: Gakinotukai on August 03, 2015, 06:52:55 AMWhy India, Why Dr. Sringari

First of all, I couldn't afford to go to Germany, USA, Italy, not even Ukraine. So in the cost wise my options were limited. China, Russia, India were my options. Russia was dropped because they operates external frames only, this method is painful, high risk for pin break and takes a lot of time for recovery. China and India, I thought about it. Both does the external with LON, takes more or less the same period in whole process,

I decided to go to India because the response from Dr. Singari was quick and had good impression from his email. He has experienced, says almost no complications, cares about the patients, he seems good doctor. Also, I read some of diaries abt Dr. Sringari and looks all patients went on good. Yes, there are some always says negative things but there are always such a case I believe. Dr. Sarin, I never thought about him because of reputations he has now.

That's why I am here... thanks for reading..

Hi Gakinotukai, thanks for your diary it's really helpful

I'm considering Dr. Singari and you said that he claims to have very few complications but what about the thread someone linked to on this thread about the guy with the screw sticking out of his leg? Have you asked Dr Sringari about that? How does that happen?

Also how much have you turned and how much do x-rays show you have lengthened because I have heard a lot of people with Indiain doctors that turn like 7cm but x-rays only show a gap of like 3cm.

Good look with frame removal, hope you recover well

How the surgery proceeded.

Woke up in the morning, was taken to a hospital by Dr. Harry in his car. The hospital was not so big. My first impression was, oh Is this the hospital to have this very complex surgery, hmmmm.   No offense.

I had Q&A with girl nurse, blood test, CT scan, some other test, all took for 1 hour or something. After that, was taken to a single room, all my leg heirs were shaved by male nurse.

Some minutes later, was taken to a surgery room in 2nd floor in a wheel chair by a male nurse and put on the surgery bed ( not sure how to say..) there were 2 to 3 male surgeons already. All looked relaxed, with mask, globes on. Unlike them I was a little anxious..A few minutes later, more male surgeons came and at last, Dr. Singari showed up smiling, looked relaxed. He shook my hands and said u don't need to worry anything.

Then, I got a cover on my face, body, legs were put slightly up.. The male surgeons, who was very friendly, came closer to me and whispered, If u want, I can get u sleep. But I said I rather want to be awake. He put big injection on my spine back. It was a anesthesia. Slowly my half of below body went asleep.

Then the surgery started, I heard all the sound of drilling, I was a little terrified but the cover was put on the legs, so I could't see anything, but I saw slight sight of my toe moving, shaking..

It took 3-4 hours, I believe. It was 6:30 pm or something. I think I was awake in whole time but I may have be sleeping at some point. I don't remember. The doctors was heading to the entrance gate so was Dr. Singari. There was only me and other 2 doctors ( could be nurse, I don't know) in a room. He took me to a stretcher and taken me back to the single room where I was going to spend next 3 days.
