I'm thinking about doing internal femurs. I would have to stay in a foreign country for about six months (60 days lenghtening, 120 consolitation), alone and confined to a wheelchair or barely walking at best. Which would be the best doctor-hospital-PT- and city to stay in during this delicate period in terms of health safety, costs, and comfort? Parihar(India), Birkholtz (South Africa)? perhaps there is another Dr. in that price range with good credentials as those two mentioned?

It depends. For me the best combo is Dr. Monegal (spain). Someone who lives in the US and has a high budget might find Rozbruch (US) more fit. There're very good diaries in the forum with alot of information, ou should read them and make your own choice.

Ill give the #1 rule for doing CLL

Get the surgery done   in your country. If that can't be done, then only go to Dr's that insist you have to live very close to their hospital/clinic or have a   recovery center where you live and are  monitired.

And also don't go to India right.

Parihar definitely has my recommendation, but if you want a first-rate hospital included in the combo, that crosses him off your list.

Although the hospital was older, the nurses were really attentive and friendly I thought. Nicer than the ones in the hospital here by my house for sure. Has your experience with the nurses been good?

Yeah, the whole staff was nice. I owe it to the general physician there for putting me at ease the night before my surgery.

old != unhygienic

I want to avoid infections due to poor maintenance/cleaning and that sort of thing.
Old but clean hospital is perfectly fine by me. Regarding Monegal I will definitely consider him as an option.
