Sometimes an online medical opinion can help you and even prevent the unnecessary medical travel.
In an unfortunate accident, Smt.Munni Devi 62 from Jharkhand was hit by a vehicle and suffered multiple fractures in her thighs, legs and wrists (multiple trauma injuries). Thankfully, she was saved from major injuries to her internal organs but she had to undergo immediate surgery for fractures. This involved fixing plates in nails in various fractured parts and reuniting of the bone.

While the hospital said that surgery was successful, her son, Mr.Gautam Agarwal was ill at ease. Incidents of his acquaintances suffering complications after incomplete surgeries for fractures in Jharkhand made him uncomfortable about his mother’s health. He wanted to be sure that she had received the best treatment and her post-operative recovery was on the right track.
Mr Agarwal decided to travel to Hyderabad with his mother so that she could get a complete check up done at a credible medical facility there. At this juncture, a friend of his suggested getting a medical opinion online through my-healthconnect before travelling to Hyderabad. Given that this would take very little effort, time or planning, Mr Agarwal decided to do so. As soon as he had created a profile for his mother at https://my-healthconnect.com and uploaded her medical reports on the portal, he was connected to 2 prominent orthopedic surgeons in Hyderabad.

Based on Smt Munni Devi’s reports, the surgeons confirmed that she had been well treated by the local hospital and that she need not travel to Hyderabad. Given that her casts had not been removed at that point and it was still early after the surgery, the surgeons reassured Mr Agarwal that she need not undertake travel for at least 6 weeks. Travel to a medical facility in Hyderabad would only be required if the wounds did not heal after 6 weeks.

In fact the orthopedic surgeon, Dr.Brijesh Kidiyoor mentioned the following:
“After going through the reports it appears to have been a severe injury which has been managed”
Imagine the inconvenience to Mr Agarwal and the suffering to a bed-ridden Munni Devi, not to mention the cost incurred, if they had to travel all the way to Hyderabad only for a second opinion that could be made available to them online.

In the following weeks that Munni Devi’s wounds healed, both she and her son could be at ease about the course of her recovery. Fortunately, she is well on her way to full recovery and never had to make the trip to Hyderabad.
