India - donate your own blood before surgery for blood transfusion?

Quote from: Serilium on April 07, 2021, 05:09:27 PMI specifically recommended a scenario for 4 inches within his 65k budget. Please no need to discreetly attack me, I did not be mean to you and am being cordial to everyone. I am honestly trying my best to help others. I have already mentioned Giotikas but that was outside his budget for both femur and tibia so I gave another option. Please man I am begging you. I have only good in my heart and do not want to be negative to anyone, I request others do the same. Appreciate it man

nooo bro I didn't mean to attack you in any way. My statement is about what I observed while using this forum, not about your comment.
Yes I agree with his budget 4 inches is gonna be hard. How is Giotikas out of his price league though? What about Guichet or Betz? Even though there are bad cases, I can't believe they are literally worse than doing this in India. He could do 3 inches (one LL) with 65k maybe.

sorry if you felt offended, wasn't my intention.

If I had the money I would have done it in the US or Giotikas but if I want to do them then I have to pay with 2-3 years of my life and my youth and I believe the chances of complications are not dependent on the country but the surgeon and your luck.

why do you have to pay with 2-3 years of time? Why would this be different in India?

Agree, it's luck and the surgeon's skills.

I have to work for 2 - 3 more years to save that much money. India is very cheap. LON/LATN is 44k with giotikas whereas it's 15-16k in India. If you want do do both segments then the price difference is huge.

I see. Yes for both segments 65k is way too little. But beware, externals on femurs are really hard.

Skillset of Indian doctors (Dr. Parihar and Dr. Sharma) is good, but there is a high chance of infections and if blood transfusion becomes necessary it can become very dangerous.

Dr. Sharma works from a reputed hospital but is less skilled. Dr. Parihar is way more skilled in India but he works from a small hospital where there is probably a high risk of infections.

Infection mostly never happens in the hospital or during surgery it happens when you are out on your own and not taking care of your externals. If you are doing internals then a very very small chance of infection if you really have bad luck. And a lot of people in India receive blood and there is no risk. All blood samples are well tested and stored. It's not 1700s or something. If you get HIV then you can sue for medical negligence and they'll have to go to jail for that.

If you are doing LON then it's the worst of both worlds. They insert a nail inside (which in India might be around 2% risk of infection compared < 1% in the west) and then the frames can create additional infection which you can prevent on your own.

If you plan to sue the hospital if you get HIV then you better have a test just before the surgery so that you can prove it happened because of the surgery. Otherwise it will be impossible to prove this.

I still think it's best to donate your own blood so that there are low risks. I have been asking around and it seems like it's not a thing in India.

Man do whatever but I'd highly not recommend doing external femurs.

They will test you before surgery for hiv and everything. There is no proof that infection risk is 2% in India and 1 % is west. It's complete BS.
