Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.
India emerging as Surgical tourism destination
Surgery :: India emerging as Surgical tourism destination
India is emerging as an important destination for Canadian patients who are tired of long surgical wait time and are increasingly prefer to have their operations performed in the country."I've seen three to four surgeons over almost three years," he said. "Each time, I've waited a year to see these surgeons and once I did see them, they had nothing to offer. Nothing at all." He then decided to try out a television ad offering surgery in a matter of weeks at a hospital in India. The ad was for a company appropriately called Surgical Tourism Canada, a Vancouver-based company founded in July 2005. The company offers surgery overseas for about USD 15,000, with four weeks of rehab in a five-star hotel.
Clarke remembered what his first thought was when he saw the ad: "If I don't have something happen within the next year or two, I could be in a wheelchair and there won't be anything that can be done about it. So this opportunity, I have to grab it." Clarke left for the Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India. There, tests quickly showed he had two severely damaged discs.
