The polyps did recur and a second surgery was done in 2006 just 1 and a 1/2 years after the first one this time in jamshedpur.It was when the treating doctor asked for the discharge slip of the previous operation.that we realized the mistake we made in our desperation.there seems no point exposing these clinics.We need to know about good clinics in Madras and B'lore.may be ITW and Artnavy can help.and usha can you take up B'lore??you all can post details of such places for the benefit of those of us who come to the south for treatment.i agree with Ranjani that not all clinics are like this or else so many would not be going to chennai for treatment.thanks for your concern and enquiries.My husband is still prone to cough and cold and avoids AC travel.As suggested by GTN we plaan to go for homoeopathy.My husband feel puffed up by your concern.He thanks you all for the same.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-64332704707695532872007-03-19T17:02:00.000+05:302007-03-19T17:02:00.000+05:30Hey HHGHope your husband is feeling better now, th...Hey HHG<BR/><BR/>Hope your husband is feeling better now, though in the US as well getting doctors to diagnose a more serious problem than the flu and viral infections is nothing easier either.
