Liam Duffy – Donegal – Knee Replacement

Liam from Donegal’s Journey to a New Knee in 10 Quick Quotes.

1. “I’ve had bother with me knee for two and a half years and been getting injections every six to eight weeks, but they weren’t working.”
2. “I was on a waiting list, and it was going to take a year and a half to two years, which I really couldn’t do because of work.”
3. “A colleague told me about Healthcare Abroad, so I rang Chris, and from that moment, everything has been absolutely brilliant.”
4. “From the time I phoned to actually getting the operation done was literally three weeks.”
5. “You’re met at Dublin Airport by the Healthcare Abroad team, flown out, met again, checked into the hotel, and taken to all your appointments.”
6. “Within three days, I had my ECG, blood tests, X-rays, met the anaesthetist, and met the surgeon—unbelievable how quickly it was done.”
7. “After surgery, you get two physio sessions a day—absolutely brilliant team who put you through your paces and make sure you recover properly.”
8. “The mental health benefits are huge—no stress of waiting lists, and you have a team behind you at all times.”
9. “If you follow the physiotherapists and surgeon’s advice, you’ll literally be back on your feet in about three months.”
10. “If you’re on a waiting list or in pain, pick up the phone, get in contact with Healthcare Abroad, and get out here—the bonus is the sunshine and blue skies!”
