India for Artificial Disc Replacement!!

I have been suffering for the Disce dis-order problem for sometime. Without medical insurance. It is really a worst things in life.

Ted Grenier experience is a great news for many who suffer the same.

Read more below.

Texas Man Travels to India for Artificial Disc Replacement

The Taj Medical Group successfully facilitated the disc replacement surgery for Austin, TX native, Ted Grenier. Mr. Grenier had been suffering for 20 years after a ski accident left him with a herniated disc and other related injuries. Without proper health coverage Mr. Grenier could not afford the simpler spinal fusion available in the US and looked to Taj Medical to help receive immediate and relatively inexpensive disc replacement at Wockhardt Hospital in India.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 11, 2007 -- Continuing their goals to find the best medical solutions for those in need, The Taj Medical Group has recently facilitated artificial disc replacement surgery for Ted Grenier, 44, out of Austin, TX. Mr. Grenier had been suffering from multiple injuries including a herniated disc from a ski accident 20 years ago. Without health insurance, Mr. Grenier was unable to afford even the simpler spinal fusion treatment available in the US. With no options left Mr. Grenier searched the net and discovered The Taj Medical Group.

Through Taj Medical, Mr. Grenier was able to find an immediate and cost-effective treatment option for his severe pain. For this surgery Taj Medical linked Mr. Grenier with Dr. D.V. Rajakumar of Wockhardt, a Joint Commission International accredited hospital in India. Dr. Rajakumar is a Neurosurgeon with a clinical fellowship from Wayne State University in Detroit. Upon his arrival in India, the Wockhardt team of physicians began running several tests to assess Mr. Grenier's injuries and the best treatment for them. The results were shocking as they discovered more damage to the vertebrae then the degenerated disc.

Mr. Grenier explains his experience and emotions while recovering at Wockhardt:

"In addition to the degenerated disc Dr. Rajakumar also observed a significant amount of osteophytes which had formed on the surface of the effected vertebrae above and below the offending disc. He also observed this same bony growth (analogous to scar tissue which forms after soft tissue damage) in and around the nerve root opening at this disc location. So his objective was to remove the disc and osteophytes and insert the artificial disc.

The night before the operation Dr. Rajakumar told me he would do everything in his power to insert the artificial disc but there was no guarantee. He would determine the probability of this option after he examined the quality of the vertebral surfaces after removing the old disc and scraping away the osteophytes. When he did indeed complete these tasks he said he found the quality of the vertebrae to be extremely healthy, vascular and flat enough to effectively accommodate the artificial titanium disc. So it was done and is currently sitting perfectly in place where the old disc once was. I have seen the x-ray of the disc with my own eyes. Dr. Rajakumar has shown me all the films before and after the procedure so I am completely aware of exactly what he did in the operating room.

The entire medical staff including the nursing crew has been nothing short of professional and friendly. I am fed three hot meals per day. My meds are administered to me like clockwork. Bed sheets and change of hospital clothes are performed early each morning. My private room is equipped with Internet, TV, full bathroom/shower, tons of closet space and another bed for a companion if I had chosen one.

The cost of this operation is going to be approx $15,600. The cervical artificial disc procedure is currently being conducted on several trials in The U. S. as we speak. I have been told that it would be one to two years before approval will be obtained by the FDA. The cost in my estimate would probably be upwards of $75,000. Remember I have had my own private room for 11 days. This estimate is probably on the conservative side. The actual operation took about two hours in the operating room. I spent the next full day in the ICU immediately following the procedure.

I find it quite difficult when I see the MRI and CT scan to believe that the medical personnel back in Austin saw the same images and told me I had only minor problems. Obviously not having insurance means one is very unlikely to get any medical assistance even in potentially serious situations. The more I learn about the level of care here and I compare it to the situation I went through in Austin the more I am determined to speak out and try to help others who are facing similar situations."

Mr. Grenier is set to return to Austin to continue recovering from his surgery on Friday, July 6th. Dr. Jagdish Jethwa, CEO of Taj Medical and his team are delighted at Mr. Grenier's response to the surgery and wish him the best of luck and health as he returns to the US. Mr. Grenier is happy to share his experience with the press in his attempt to help educate the public.

Pope rejects condoms for Africa

The Pope has already met South African President Thabo Mbeki
The spread of HIV and Aids in Africa should be tackled through fidelity and abstinence and not by condoms, Pope Benedict XVI has said.
Speaking to African bishops at the Vatican, the Pope described HIV/Aids in Africa as a "cruel epidemic".

But he told them: "The traditional teaching of the church has proven to be the only failsafe way to prevent the spread of HIV/Aids."

More than 60% of the world's 40m people with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa.

In South Africa alone, 600-1,000 people are thought to die every day because of Aids.

Pope Benedict, who was elected to succeed John Paul II in April, has already signalled that he will maintain a strictly traditional line on issues including abortion and homosexuality.

Before being elected pope, Benedict served as head of the Vatican's doctrinal office.

These were his first public comments on the issue of Aids/HIV and contraception since taking office.

It is of great concern that the fabric of African life, its very source of hope and stability, is threatened by divorce, abortion, prostitution, human trafficking and a contraception mentality

Pope Benedict

He was addressing bishops from South Africa, Botswana, Swaziland, Namibia and Lesotho, who had travelled to the Vatican for a routine papal audience.

Some Catholic clergymen have argued that the use of condoms to stem the spread of the disease would be a "lesser of two evils".

The Pope warned that contraception was one of a host of trends contributing to a "breakdown in sexual morality", and church teachings should not be ignored.

"It is of great concern that the fabric of African life, its very source of hope and stability, is threatened by divorce, abortion, prostitution, human trafficking and a contraception mentality," he added.

The virus "seriously threatens the economic and social stability of the continent," the Pope said.

The UN estimates that without new initiatives and greater access to drugs, more than 80 million Africans may die from Aids by 2025 and HIV infections could reach 90 million, or 10% of the continent's population.


Churches in Africa continues AIDS fight without condoms


Catholic leaders in Africa have pledged to step up their involvement in the fight against the AIDS pandemic, while continuing to reject the use of condoms to fight the disease.

"We must listen to what the Pope is telling us" The church says one must be faithful in marriage and save oneself for marriage," said Senegal Bishop Alexandre Mbengue. "We cannot cave in to the current trend."

According to the UN agency UNAIDS sub-Saharan Africa is hardest hit by AIDS, being home to more than two-thirds of those infected with HIV worldwide - 29.4 million out of 42 million.

Congo's Kinshasa Archbishop Dominique Bulamatari said: "Using condoms as a means of preventing AIDS can only lead to sexual promiscuity."

However Nigeria's AIDS Alliance head Farouk Mohammed claims he has observed a softening of the church's position in the fight against AIDS.

"Excluding condom use, to which the church is still opposed, it is involved now in building awareness in and mobilising its members," he said.

A few minority voices among African church leaders condone condom use and urge Africa's Catholics to change their way of thinking to bring it more into line with the times.

"The condom is a stopgap, a lesser evil, but not the solution," said the bishop of Port Louis, Mauritius, Maurice Piat.

"The church's preachings are not about condoms, but about the urgency of fighting AIDS," he added, urging that the battle against the killer disease be waged "not with rubber, but with human resources."

tschnitzlein

You have raise a very great points by saying that the African cultural tolerance & Moral Values are important backdrop!!

From my study on civilization & the relationship about major religions is that it is the software that used by the king's or emperor's to use the Gods' & Demons to control their fellow people.

As the god base religions' have one thing in common, you believes in Gods then you go to heaven, if you don't you then go to hell!! Because in that creation of God, God is still the supreme in command in your soul , the invisible one, the one that decide the classification of one rich or poor have or have not, & the life & death of an individual being.

However, today NASA already prove time & again that the Death of the
planets universe are exactly mentioned by both Lao Zi, & Gotama.

That is:


Here Demised,

There Arises!!


Now looking at the Beijing Ren( The Asian Early man) which is about 6millions years ago & the African Early man, they all share one common body structure & the almost at the sametime.

As I believes, the all beings nature have sex naturally is to reproduce , so that there are continuety of lives!! From the human being to the lowest forms of life like Cancer cells all are the same!!

Before, the era of Albert Eistein & the computing & communications technology era. The thoeries & doctrines of God or gods would work. However, with the science & technology of today, the thoery of god would harder to be accepted & blindly followed.

In my opinion to add to tschnitzlein

Points, I recommend that the Education on philosophies of the truth, about Birth & Death Cycle, the precepts on preventions, the suffering of illness..etc. should be done most urgently.

Prevention is Always Better then cure!!

Yin & Yang must always be balance!!

Just like Day & Night

Sun & the Moon!!
