LOL! Medicine is big business these days, particularly surgical medicine.
With a week to go before my left total knee replacement I had a call early this morning from one of the 'clinic nurses' following up on a few aspects arising from my "Pre-Admission Medical", which was really reassuring 'cos it means that they are looking at all the pathology, cardiology and radiology assessments.
This evening I was again contacted to ensure I had obtained a pair of "Canadian Crutches" for my post-op ambulation and to ascertain how I was going to arrange my post-discharge physiotherapy. Then another call to re-schedule my post-operative follow-up assessment.
I reckon for what I'm paying - around $12,000(AUS)for the titanium knee implant alone - I should be getting that attention.
Now all I have to do his deal with my own anxiety!
I created this blog to talk about my home region. I've used many images, including archival images but mostly I've used my own images.

good luck with that. My mother had her knee replaced a couple of years ago, and needs the other one done at some point. It's not an easy operation to go through. You will need to take it easy for a while.
Thanks dor popping by and commenting on my blog.
