Linard’s Journey: A Heartfelt Story of Resilience and Recovery


After a 15-hour flight, Linard was eager to see his girlfriend in BKK. However, a few days later, he experienced chest pain and ended up in the Cardiology Emergency ward at Samitivej Hospital in BKK, where Dr. Patty immediately recognized it as a serious case requiring full attention. Despite the fact that the Cardiologist in Chur told him there is no problem flying to BKK and he should come back after 6 Month..

Linard, life was a colorful/material full of family, career, and hiking on the impressive mountains and other natural wonders. But this great colourful expanse started to unravel when a certain uneasiness, a shortness of breath entered his life. At first, anyone who tried it called him a right old codger and it became bad, adding a shade of darkness over formerly enjoyed activities. Climbing stairs of his house or even taking his dog for a walk began to feel like a tiresome job and he was tired all the time, despite getting a good night’s sleep. Fazed by these symptoms, Linard had to approach a doctor without knowing that he was to encounter crushing yet liberating odyssey – a odyssey that was to take him through doctors’ scalpel and through the doors of the Vital Strive-medhub.


Facing the Diagnosis: A Crossroads of Fear and Hope

The initial doctor’s visit led to a series of tests: A stress test, EKG, and Echocardiogram, each of which gives a better and worse picture of Linard heart health. The diagnosis finally came: They include severe aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve that limited blood pumping. This news left a considerable shock on Linard, depending on fear and disbelief to kick him. His active, his future plans – everything as if was on the verge of uncertainty. The doctor said the only available remedy was heart valve replacement an operations that worried Linard a lot. But in the darkness there was always the glimmer of something – hope. The doctor had to calm him down and explain that this was quite a successful surgery and he was likely to be able to get a full recovery. This is where Linard slid between the two extremes of fear and hope and then took the best step that was available to him at that time that changed the entire course of his life- surgery. He commenced searching for possible solutions and came across with Vital Strive – a medical tourism company which aim to help patients locate the best healthcare providers in Thailand. Filled with dreams of getting the best out of the best through getting top notch treatment from professional nurses in a calm serene environment, Linard contacted Vital Strive which marked the beginning of slaying his health complications.


A Journey Across Continents: Vitalstrive Paves the Way

The decision made, the next challenge which came out was the issues dealing with Medical Travel across different countries. This is where Vital Strive was able to stand out on its own and be most effective.

Finally the day for surgery came and even through linard was very nervous, he was confident about the surgeons and also the technological equipments being used. The surgery was a success. The aortic valve that had been severely damaged was repaired by a healthy new valve, thereby bringing the normal beat of Linard’s heart. He had a rapid postoperative rehabilitation due to the meticulous attention of the nurses and doctors who were around him all the time.
