She developed knee arthritis in middle age from a 25 year old skiing injury. Millie was unable to get health insurance as she had this pre existing condition. Private treatment without medical insurance was unaffordable. Cost of a knee replacement running into 0000's. All treatment measures failed and she was forced to look overseas for an option. She discovered Dr.Venkatachalam of the Madras Joint Replacement center online through his website, www.kneeindia.com. She traveled to Chennai with a close relative. Here she received a door to door service including airport transfers, hotel stay, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy.
She is very satisfied with the outcome. Coming from the baby boomer class, she chose the durable Oxinium prosthesis which is more long lasting than conventional metal implants.
