One of the United States? most famous athletes ? basketball superstar Kobe Bryant ? has revealed that he?s been relying on German medical care to fix his ailing ankle and knee.
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times newspaper, Bryant visited Düsseldorf molecular orthopaedist Peter Wehling twice during the off season for innovative blood and platelet treatments meant to ease the star?s pain.
He told the Times that the positive results he?s noticed from Wehling?s treatment would be a ?huge plus? for his National Basketball Association team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Wehling is the founder of his Centre for Molecular Orthopaedics and has become well-known for cutting edge treatments targeted at elite athletes.
His ?Regenokine? therapy that he used to treat Bryant involves removing blood from a patient?s affected body party, then removing interleukin proteins from the blood and re-injecting them into the body, according to the Times.
Bryant?s Lakers are scheduled to start their NBA season Sunday with a game against the Chicago Bulls, although it?s not clear if Bryant will play due to a torn arm ligament he suffered in an exhibition game on Monday.
The season is beginning later than its typical October or November start this year because of labour strife between players and owners.
All Americans need to go to Germany for medical care. Money and corruption in the USA has made all Americans sicker by the day. They need to be tried and sentenced for their crimes against humanity.....
Have you ever met a person that, goes out of there way to hail their own accomplishments, even though it is really not that important?
This article got me to thinking. Let's see: take the athlete's blood, spin it, separate it and then re-inject it. If Kobe Bryant were a cyclist he'd be banned for life about now.
Sats here are 1 out of every 10 surgeries are botched infections that are hospital related are much higher. I have lived here for 28 years and not once has a doctor taken my blood pressure.
Healthcare in German is just the same as what you would get in the states if you got the money you will get the best care. Do you have public or private big differences in care levels in Germany between these two. For the basics its good once you get passed that you better have private. Just like for my son, I have private insurance they are covered under public with there mom. He broke his arm in two spots, a really good orthopedic was here but if you have public the wait to see him can be 3 to for months lucky my son is on a upper level sports team who works with the doctor so he was able to get a appointment next day. Here it is also about what you got.
