Joint operations are being carried out in a hospital in India.
I am not sure what I think about this. On the one hand, so long as everything goes alright, all well and good. But what if something were to go wrong? You'd be an awfully long way from home...
What do you think?
What a shame that people are forced in to having to take this kind of action :( If we had adequate health care here the option would not come up at all.
Personally I couldn't do it, I'd be too worried that something would go wrong and I'd be so far from home.

I think I agree. A long way from home, should something go wrong.
I think it's a good idea if It will relieve you of your pain and suffering years before our NHS will get around to treating you.. I don't beleive that they are so far behind us in medical practices that it would make any surgeries more high risk than they are here or in the US
I do wonder what impact it will have on the very poorest indian people who may be "enticed" into selling kidneys etc for a few hundered rupees, so that westerners can "jump the queue" over here.. having said that if my sons remaining kidney became cancerous I would have him treated anywhere.. with no thought other than HIS best chance of survival, and have already discussed the options of kidney transplant in india should the need arise.... :unsure:
I suppose we all do what we have to do
