Being
a
Long
Review
I
will
post
this
in
Parts
due
to
restriction

words
limit.
PART
-
1
To
begin
with
I
am
an
Defence
Officer
,
50
yr
young
who
had
been
a
physical
fitness
freak
throughout
my
life.
The
adventure
of
army
life
is
what
I
was
always
passionate
about.
This
is
a
little
long
story,
so
if
you
really
have
the
patience
to
hear
everything
from
a
patient
who
did
not
write
his
review
for
last
two
years
since
he
wanted
to
give
a
factual
and
absolutely
realistic
feedback
to
others
who
are
searching
for
the
BEST
DOCTORS
(don
't
we
all)
for
their
orthopedic
problems,
than
leave
aside
everything
you
are
doing
and
read
on.
My
fantastic
adventurous
life
changed
in
a
split
of
a
moment
when
I
met
with
a
near
fatal
car
accident
in
Nov
2016.
My
left
knee
was
fractured
from
the
patella
with
a
15
inch
wound
from
my
lower
thigh
to
six
inches
below
my
knee.
The
Doc
and
support
staff
on
duty
of
the
nearby
hospital
where
I
was
rushed
by
some
bystanders
who
had
called
an
ambulance,
did
a
wonderful
job
of
cleaning
my
wounds
and
stitching
me.
Brain
MRI
&
X-rays
were
taken
and
to
my
relief
no
internal
injuries
were
noticed.
My
face,
chest,
right
hand
and
both
legs
were
injured.
Next
day
I
was
shifted
to
Govt
Hospital
where
I
again
underwent
all
tests
and
after
five
days
was
operated
on
my
left
knee.
The
MRI
of
knee
revealed
the
details
of
injuries,
medical
terminology
being
โCompound
comminuted
fracture
Patella
and
Medial
Condyle
Femur
(Left)โ.
I
was
operated
and
three
screws
were
fitted
in
my
knee
for
joining
the
fractured
condyle
with
the
Femur.
I
recuperated
in
the
hospital
for
approx
four
weeks.
After
7
days
with
help
of
the
walker
I
started
to
walk
to
the
park
outside
the
officers
ward
to
enjoy
the
warmth
of
the
Sun
in
winters.
Thereafter,
I
was
discharged
to
report
back
to
the
hospital
after
four
weeks
of
rest
at
home.
The
doctor
who
operated
me
told
me
that
since
your
injury
is
severe
and
the
load
bearing
joint
has
fractured,
you
would
not
be
able
to
run
but,
would
be
able
to
do
all
other
activities.
This
came
as
a
shock
but,
I
thanked
god
for
giving
me
a
new
life
and
I
pledged
myself
that
Ok
no
running
but
at
least
I
will
be
able
to
do
cycling
to
keep
myself
fit.
Slowly,
I
gave
away
the
walker
and
started
walking
with
help
of
a
stick
and
did
physiotherapy
with
a
therapist
who
visited
my
home
every
day
in
the
evening.
But,
there
was
only
marginal
improvement
in
the
bending
of
my
left
leg
which
would
bend
only
to
about
40
deg.
Thereafter,
I
rejoined
duty
and
continued
with
the
physiotherapy
session
with
a
very
qualified
physiotherapist
.
Also,
I
used
to
call
another
Physiotherapist
in
the
evening
who
use
to
treat
me
in
my
room.
This
continued
for
approx
four
months
but
there
was
only
a
marginal
improvement
in
the
bending
of
my
knee.
I
was
able
to
climb
up
the
staircase
but,
coming
down
was
with
lot
of
difficulty.
The
Physiotherapist
would
bend
my
knees
even
beyond
the
threshold
limits
of
my
pain
tolerance
but,
I
withstood
all
the
pain
in
hope
of
improvement.
My
left
leg
gained
lot
of
strength
but
only
very
marginal
improvement
in
the
bending
movement
up
to
60
to
70
deg.
To
cut
the
story
short,
I
could
walk
with
a
limp
but
could
not
ride
a
bicycle,
due
to
restricted
Range
of
Motion
(ROM)
of
the
knee.
I
had
searched
all
the
possible
remedies
in
Internet
but
nothing
improved
my
range
of
motion
of
left
knee.
I
showed
myself
to
the
best
of
doctors
in
the
North
east,
Delhi
and
Lucknow.
Since
I
was
desperate
so
some
of
my
close
friend
in
the
Army
suggested
that
there
is
Brig
Dr
HS
Aggarwal
who
was
Commandant
of
MH
Kirkee
(The
best
hospital
for
the
Defence
forces
for
Orthopedics)
so
why
not
take
his
opinion.
So
took
some
leave
went
to
Pune
and
showed
myself
at
Sancheti,
Fortis
and
all
other
best
hospitals
for
Orthopedics.
