I will never forget the expression on my mother’s face when she was discharged, as opposed to the moment of her admission: she looked younger because she no longer had the excruciating pain that she had grown used to it for the past 2 years. My parents and I can only send a huge Thanks you to Doctor Balint, anaesthesiologist Popa, the entire team of Orthopaedics and Intensive Care and, of course, all the other wonderful people who make a clinic work so well in Romania!
