After enjoying a heavy lunch with colleagues, an active middle-aged man felt uncomfortable. He chalked it up to indigestion. But, because he was an Infinity MC member, he decided to call our concierge desk to get advice.
Knowing his medical history, the specialist on call recommended that he head to the hospital for a check-up. Believing it probably wasn’t anything serious, he drove himself to Sandton Medi-Clinic.
On arrival, he was met at casualty by his treating physician, who sent him for a sonar exam. An abdominal sonar picked up that he had appendicitis, and there was a risk that his appendix would have burst that night.
He was taken straight to theatre, where he had an appendectomy (performed by an Infinity MC surgeon) and was discharged the next morning, happy, healthy and having avoided a serious medical event.
