Australian's knee replacement in India | Health travel account

Mr. Brian Blake is one of the thousands of Australians heading out the country for medical treatment. Mr. Brian Blake's narrates his health travel story here.
High cost of private treatment, medical insurance and long waiting lists in government hospitals are the main causes of patients seeking surgery abroad. Indian surgeons like Dr.Venkatachalam offer the best treatment at one fourth the cost of that in Australia. This is an example of international market economy dictating action.
Brian received a long lasting Oxinium knee replacement at the Madras Joint Replacement Center in India. Despite having several risks like cardiac risk & obesity, his knee surgery was successful.
Brian was not enamored of the medical treatment in Australia due to some mishaps to his family members. He received excellent care in India at the Madras Joint Replacement center. He will be returning later this year to get his right knee operated.
