Among the great pleasures we have is visiting hospitals and meeting some great people. One of these is Dr. Michael Moreton at Bangkok Hospital. Dr. Michael has enjoyed a long career in medicine starting in his native U.K. and subsequently in the U.S. and Canada. He is now Bangkok Hospital's international patient coordinator.
Recently Dr. Michael published an article on hip resurfacing, a procedure that medical travelers seek. Hip resurfacing is an alternative to total hip replacement. It was originally developed in Birmingham, U.K. - which is why it's often known as Birmingham Hip Resurfacing. The first procedures were done in 1997 and it became a popular alternative but was not allowed in the U.S. until 2006. It's now common in the U.S. but costly and for those faced with large out-of-pocket expenses it continues to be a reason people travel.
Check to see what Dr. Michael has to say about the procedure. Bangkok Hospital is one of Pacific Medways' providers and we would be happy to assist patients seeking hip resurfacing.
