Over the course of this experience we have had the opportunity to closely interact with both the German as well as Indian doctors.
In Germany, S has been under the care of Dr. Ziegler at http://www.dialyse-heidelberg.de/ and also went for consultation to http://www.kfh-dialyse.de/kfh-nierenzentren/nierenzentrum,,204,.html. Her case is being supervised by Dr. Zeier of http://www.nierenzentrum-heidelberg.com/index.php?id=2.
When Germany closed down for Christmas break in 2012 we decided to fly down to Bangalore and get opinions of Doctors here. We did the rounds of Manipal Hospital, Columbia Asia, Apollo, NH and St. John's.
We found that the opinions of the doctors in Germany and in Bangalore was the same. All of them had read the same book.There were subtle differences e.g. doctors in Germany believed in early dialysis and the doctors in India believed in late dialysis but the long term diagnosis and prognosis was the same.
Of all the doctors we met in Bangalore, S had an instant connect with Dr. S. Viswanath at Manipal Hospital. He was the 1st one we met in Bangalore and when we decided to do the surgery here he was the main factor in deciding on Manipal Hospital http://www.manipalhospitals.com/dialysis-overview.html. S' surgeon was Dr. Deepak Dubey while S' mom was operated on by Dr. Shivshanker. All their treatment was supervised by Dr. Ballal. Manipal Hospital is slow and expensive but not for once did I feel that the medical care was of inferior quality. Pre-op and post-op procedures were thorough and we kept the German doctors updated with the procedures and results. The German doctors were very impressed with the detail orientation and the facilities available in Manipal Hospital. They confirmed that there is nothing else which they would have done more in Germany. It is great to know that atleast in big Indian cities top class medical care and facilities are now available. However, the one factor which definitely stood out was the friendly staff at Manipal Hospital. From the security gaurds, to the PCC, to the OPD nurses, the nurses in the 5th, 8th and 9th floor wards, to the wardboys, to the ammas everybody is friendly and meet you with a smile. Their warmth and support is infectious and the feeling of caring is commendable.
This warmth brings the Indian touch to the world class facilities.
