MRI scan and treatment in Belgium

Hit by a JCB while driving, Ms KC felt frustrated with her Irish surgeon who wanted to treat her with acupuncture.  A normally healthy person, the pain wasn’t getting any better and the spasms were affecting her work. After discovering Direct Healthcare International from an online Google search for MRI Ms KC called the office and got more information out of the Direct Healthcare staff in 10 minutes than she had got out of the Irish medical service in two months.  They confirmed that an MRI, including transfers and an overnight stay at the hospital’s guest accommodation, would cost £400 so Ms KC had an MRI done in Belgium and the doctors prescribed magnesium and confirmed that no operation was needed.

 

Ms KC said: “The level of cleanliness in the hospital astounded me. Because they suspected an infection of the MRI unit from the previous patient I had to wait while they disinfected the whole unit. The level of care I received was fantastic and completely different to that in Ireland where the medical staff just discounted my pain. The Direct Healthcare International Limited patient liaison officer took care of me the whole day.”  Ms KC has since returned to Direct Healthcare for further scans and treatment.
