Plz wat u just saw above is d cost of my medical treatment in india.plz I need ur help!! Nothing is too small,it will cost me closely 3m.dis my account details:1st bank:3049504751 account name: onwumere chinalu.thanks

so let me get this straight:- you want people to fund your knee operation in India?! BWAAAAAH!!! some NL members have clearly lost the plot!

You can still research with other Orthopaedic Hospitals, I don't have a ball park figure off the top of my head, but methinks the price quoted is way too high, especially for India. Haba, chai.
