Guru Raghavendran

My name is Guru Raghavendran. I came from Dharapuram. I had back pain and then neck pain, both — pain in the cervical region. Before that I had taken treatment with a lot of doctors. When I went to an orthopaedic, he had prescribed a tablet. While I was taking that tablet, at the medical store they said there was another similar one. When they said that, I bought it and took it. When I searched on Google about that, back pain came, not the neck pain. Then, looking at it, I found another tablet there. Looking at that on Google, this hospital, AVN, came up. All right, I searched here on Google, and after finding out how this hospital was and everything, I rang up. I rang up and asked, and they told me the details. All right, I said, I have taken it everywhere; let me come and take it here too. As soon as I came the approach was very good. As soon as I came they said it nicely at the reception. Then I contacted the doctor madam, Sridevi. The very way she spoke was as though it cured half the illness. After that she had prescribed tablets for about 20 days. Take them, and if you need to, come and have this massage for one week. Be an inpatient and take treatment, she said. All right, as soon as she said it, I said I would stay about ten days — because the way she spoke, and this atmosphere and all of it, were good. I said I would stay about 10 days. All right, you take these 20 days of tablets and phone and fix an appointment for whenever, they said. All right, meanwhile, when I contacted Porkodi madam, she said, look at all the rooms and see which room is convenient for you. Do that. And ring up when you are coming. If you tell us one week before we will book the room, she said. After that I took 20 days. With that I felt reasonably better and better. Having felt that, only the cervical, that neck area, was still somewhat painful. All right, let me come back for whateverit may be. There was pain in the hip too. Sometimes it came from a little exercise and taking out the vehicle. All right, let me come here, I said. I came to madam thinking I could be an inpatient and take treatment. As soon as I came madam told me, I was seen, madam saw me and gave it. Stay a week like this, she said. I have been here a week. In this one week, the way madam and the doctors I saw spoke, so politely, was as though it cured half our illness. And then all the staff here, and the attending duty doctors and the other staff, all behave politely. And then there is a canteen. The food that comes is a restricted diet. Eating that, in six days of eating I lost two kilos in weight. All of that is a benefit. And then the food is nicely healthy too. Even if it is said to have no taste, it is tasty. If the spice and salt are low they would say it is tasteless. But this is very tasty. And then, for the attendant, they can go and eat what they want. So there is no problem at all. The water is very excellent, herbal water. And then here, when they do the massage and all of that — before this, twenty years ago, I took treatment in Chennai. I took treatment for back pain. I am a table tennis player. So I took it. There, at their branch in Thiruvanaikaval, I took it 20 years back. Compared with that, the massage here is excellent. They do a variety here. When they do the steam bath and the herbal bath and all of this, there is something. There is a freshness. I feel about 10 years younger. Treatment-wise this is very good. Because of taking these tablets, 70% of my neck pain has now gone. This was 50% — it had been rigid. In the hip there was a kind of catch, a tightness. That tightness has now reduced by about 50%. With that, madam said — madam, I am being discharged tomorrow. In total all the staff, once you get to know them, work well and with involvement. To areasonable extent, as soon as you call, they attend to everything. Treatment okay.
