The misery of the NHS!

Hi Tracy, i had 1 level ADR surgery 3 and a half weeks ago at the Alphakilink, i paid approx �15600, including hotel, another mri scan, back brace, seeing a neurologist and 6 sessions of gyrotronics before i came home. I can not speak highly enough of the Alphakilink and Drs Zeegers. I was going to have the surgery with a Mr Paul Rhys Davies, who does ADR surgery on the NHS, ( APPROX 18 MONTH WAIT), i researched more into surgery and i decided i needed the most experienced i could get, i admit i'm very fortunate i had the funds to pay. My recovery is going very well.

Hi,

I too am considering having an ADR done by Mr Lam (privately). I am fortunate enough that my insurance company will be covering the cost of this operation.

I asked Mr Lam directly if he had a vascular surgeon present during the operation and he said that he does all the work himself.

From the research I have conducted I have discovered that Mr Lam is one of the most experience ADR surgeons in the UK. I have complete confidence in him and trust him in advising me as to which operation/treatment is the best course of action for myself.

If you have any questions please dont hestitate to contact me.

Hi Kim,
I am going to try and do a series of Mr Lam doing different operations on a DVD -- - I have promised tmont this as she is just across the way from me. It might take some weeks to complete but is worth the wait -- - if I send to Trace then she could send to you etc -- - anyone else interested???

You can get a video of your Operation at the Alphaklinik you know -- - just ask the day before your surgery

Oh man,I've seen surgeries before, but seeing them slice into me and my own insides would probably be where I'd have to draw the line.

Some things should remain known but ignored and certainly never seen--kind of like your parents having sex...ewwwwwwwww

I suppose seeing surgery on yourself could be "Spooky" . I didn`t take them up on the offer
