Maureen's Patient Journey: Hip Replacement in Turkey by Turan Turan Health Group After Comparing 7 Countries

[00:00:00] But, originally, I thought it was a scam, because it was so head and shoulders above any other program that I read about.

[00:00:08] I thought it can't be true. And I looked around the world. I looked at Mexico, and the United States, and Canada, but Germany, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania. I looked everywhere.

[00:00:20] That I think it's the best decision that I could have made. And yes, I would recommend it to anyone.

[00:00:30] Okay, my name is Maureen Goff, and I'm 66 years old, and I'm from British Columbia, Canada.

[00:00:34] The pain started 35 years ago, when I had a bad car accident, but it was always manageable.

[00:00:40] So, I've led a really active life. I've climbed mountains, I've had adventure travel all over the world, but this last winter, it got unmanageable.

[00:00:51] So, ever before, I just took anti-inflammatories, and just kept going.

[00:00:54] But, last winter, the pain got worse and worse, and it wasn't responding to the anti-inflammatories at all.

[00:01:00] And then, I was taking so many of them that my kidneys started to give out.

[00:01:05] So, I had to go off them completely, and that's when the pain just skyrocketed.

[00:01:08] So, it has been a year now that I've been in this pain.

[00:01:13] Um I live in a condominium, and so, from my condo to the elevator, used to take 2 minutes.

[00:01:22] Then, it got worse, and it was taking like 4 or 5 minutes to get, and now I can't walk there at all.

[00:01:28] Around the house, I can function with my crutches, but I can't grocery shop or anything.

[00:01:34] Driving is very difficult without help. I'm basically disabled.

[00:01:37] So, basically my entire life has ended, and what I'm left with is simply functioning, just trying to function day to day.

[00:01:49] And I can't do that without crutches or complete help.

[00:01:51] Nights are painful. So, I don't get a lot of sleep, because the pain in both hips is so bad.

[00:01:57] This is all made worse because I had severe arthritis in my back as well.

[00:02:01] So, I have had back surgery just 3 months ago.

[00:02:05] I didn't have any treatments for my hips specifically, but I did for my back and they're so related, closely related, that I thought one would help the other, but I didn't get any relief.

[00:02:15] So, when I realized that I needed some really quick intervention, I started researching hip and back syndrome and the treatment interventions.

[00:02:25] And so, Turan's name came up very quickly in a search.

[00:02:27] But originally, I thought it was a scam because it was so head and shoulders above any other program that I read about that I thought it can't be true.

[00:02:39] The more research I did, and I used AI, I did all sorts of stuff to do my research to make sure I was getting the best information possible.

[00:02:44] Turan was just head and shoulders above everyone, and I was most concerned about post-op care.

[00:02:52] Well, Turan was the only one that offered such a comprehensive post-op program.

[00:02:57] And that was one of the first things that sold me.

[00:03:01] And I looked around the world, and Turan just kept coming up as the best option for me and for my needs.

[00:03:06] I researched every piece of this. There's no piece I didn't research.

[00:03:13] So again, I looked I scoured every research piece I could find to see if there was any bad news stories about Turan, about the doctors, about the care, about this facility.

[00:03:25] And there was nothing negative that I could find.

[00:03:30] So again, because I didn't quite trust that it could be so much superior to any other option, I just kept researching and the information just kept coming back consistent.

[00:03:40] That's another thing that is really important was the concierge service.

[00:03:45] And so, because I'm disabled, even with my partner here to help me, was really concerned about getting through airports, about getting here from my home in the middle of the mountains in British Columbia.

[00:03:58] So, we were met at the meeting point by a lovely young lady who took us down to meet our driver, took us directly to the hotel, helped us in, helped carry bags.

[00:04:12] It was just seamless and very very personable.

[00:04:16] Well, I had my first hip done yesterday and it's a totally new world.

[00:04:20] I can't feel anything from the hip, although I feel the surgery incisions and things.

[00:04:27] So, either tomorrow or the next day we'll have the second hip done.

[00:04:30] The care here is phenomenal.

[00:04:33] The physio team are amazing. The nursing staff are absolutely wonderful.

[00:04:38] The operation went really well. It was so smooth.

[00:04:41] Everything was exactly on time.

[00:04:43] They were here to pick me up in the morning the minute they said they were going to be.

[00:04:48] They wheeled me down in the gurney and the prep team downstairs were just phenomenal.

[00:04:54] And laying on that gurney, of course, it's very cold and they put a warmer on me, like an almost like a big hair dryer.

[00:05:03] This is a hard operation. But, I chose it and I made the best decision.

[00:05:08] The exercises that they gave me to do got these muscles working again.

[00:05:16] And as soon as the muscles work, you can stand up. And then once you can stand up, you can get your balance, get settled, but it hurts, but it hurts like it should cuz you just had your hips replaced.

[00:05:32] This would not be possible if it wasn't for the team.

[00:05:38] From my first questions all the way to check out, they have been there every step.

[00:05:46] I think it's the best decision that I could have made. And yes, I would recommend it to anyone.

[00:05:51] Good morning from the West Kootenay in British Columbia, Canada.

[00:05:55] My name is Maureen and barely 7 months ago I was completely bedridden.

[00:06:00] I couldn't barely get out of bed in the morning and to get around the house I needed help.

[00:06:05] I was in a wheelchair just to get around the house.

[00:06:07] I did a lot of research around the world to see where I could have both of my hips replaced because I couldn't wait for our system.

[00:06:12] I found Turan and Turan and here I am.

[00:06:17] Today was a fairly normal day. I jumped out of bed this morning at about 7:00 and I went upstairs in my house to have an online yoga class and then I was feeling so good I had a strength class after that.

[00:06:30] Came downstairs and had some breakfast, a cup of coffee and decided to come out and do nine holes of golf this morning.

[00:06:37] I can only do nine because on the way home I have to go shopping, then I have to get home and unload the groceries and set the table because I'm having a dinner party for 12 tonight.

[00:06:49] This is a pretty normal day for me and when you consider that in February I couldn't even get out of bed it's an absolute miracle.

[00:06:58] I have such profound thanks for Dr. Turan and the whole team at Turan and Turan for the life you've given me. There just aren't words for how successful this operation has been. Thank you.
