I was with Mr Zulkifli Hassan (MMC: 36171) when i decided to go ahead with the operation. Reason was i want to play other sports such as badminton and even golf. So he gave me the quotation for double bundle. Looking back at the letter, it did mention about medial meniscus tear. Surprisingly though that Mr Zulkifli never mentioned that i needed the ACL Recon to get the meniscus torn fixed. In fact i don't recall any conversation on the meniscus repair. Anyway, i agreed for the operation to be held in October 2011 approximately 11 months from that day.
The cost of the items for the operation as well as post operation was ...
The actual date was never set. So i had appointment with Ms Siti Hawa Tahir that day. I almost backed off from having the operation. I was ready to say that i don't need it. i am getting used to the pain at my knee. My fitness level was soaring high and i kept taking that ostesamin. So i went in telling her all those. She almost agreed with me then she took those MRI images and hanged it on the lit glass. She was looking at the images and finally pointed to one image.
En Fauzi ... your meniscus is in bad condition. It needs to be repaired or else your pain would not disappear. The meniscus cannot be repaired unless you do ACL Recon. With third degree laxity, it won't heal.
My wife was in the room as well and i took a second to breathe and asked her ... then i got confirmation that it would be 2-in-1 operation. Both would be fixed with single operation. Hence the date was set for the operation to happen on Friday, 30 September 2011. It would be the day i was born and the day i would be reborn.
