Patient Story: Michael and Knee Replacement Surgery at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital Today, we’ll hear from Michael Howard, a Canadian ice hockey player who suffered from a long-standing knee injury that impacted his daily life. With the belief that “sitting at home because you can’t walk is not living life,” Michael decided to undergo surgery. Despite a five-year waiting list in Canada, his love of Thailand and well-researched information led him to seek treatment at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Michael underwent surgery under Dr. Namon Yaikwong, a specialist in orthopedic surgery and joint replacement surgery. Michael insisted on undergoing simultaneous surgery on both knees. The excellent cooperation between the doctor and patient resulted in a satisfactory and unexpected outcome. After surgery, Michael recovered quickly and was able to walk within the first week. With his dedication to regular physical therapy, he was able to return to his normal life, climbing stairs and performing other activities without pain.
