Frequently asked questions
How is the choice made between non-surgical treatment and surgery?
Doctors decide step by step based on imaging and symptoms. Many hospitals recommend non-surgical treatment first, and if surgery is needed they explain the recovery period as well.
How long are rehabilitation and the stay after surgery?
It ranges from days to weeks depending on the procedure. The hospital outlines the expected inpatient and rehabilitation period, and MediQueen helps with nearby accommodation and interpreters.
Can the hospital review my existing MRI or X-rays in advance?
Yes. Send the image files and reports and the hospital can outline a treatment direction and price range before your visit. Attach them to the MediQueen inquiry form and we forward them.
Is a long flight manageable with my current pain?
It depends on your symptoms, so check with your doctor at home before departure. If needed, MediQueen arranges airport wheelchair assistance and hospital pick-up.
