4k should be a weeks pay for a good contractor.

Maybe you'll get there yourself one day.

Should be, but then we had New Labour for 13 years and a million Bobs on work permits, so I doubt very much it is.

For the good ones it is.

Just thought I would let you know.

Find a sticking up pavement.

Call some ambulance chaser lawyers and say you hurt your knee tripping on it.

Get £4000 compensation. Go private.

Sorted.

Come out to Germany bring you EU NHS card, you've be done by the end of next week.

Done and buried.

So do people actually arrange the treatment abroad and then combine with a holiday, or is it done as a package... recuperate in the sun until you're well enough to return home?

It's been like this for 2 months so I guess it isn't going away on its own.

If I've got to spend a load of money, just thought maybe I could get 2 weeks in Goa thrown into the bargain.

India does indeed have some very good hospitals - and lots of people from the UK are getting treated there with good results.
You'd have to do your research about who's the best doctor etc. Don't know how you'd go about it, though.

You can always put yourself forward for a clinical trial.

How is that a clinical trial, cretin?

Download some medical books and do it yourself, if you get stuck use google.

I would probably prioritize the quality of the surgery above the weather TBH.

I've screwed my knee up in the gym & have to have keyhole surgery.

So far I've been going private but the cost of the operation is £4000.

Can get it done on the NHS but the wait is 9 - 12 months & I don't want to be in pain & physically inactive for that amount of time.

Don't want to spend 4k either but if I could go somewhere & get a holiday as well as the treatment for the same amount or less I'd consider it.

Anyone ever done this kind of thing?

9 to 12 months! The Tories didn't take long to get back to normal.

Hope you get it sorted one way or t'other.

Why not give it a few weeks and see if it heals up on its own?
