Kentucky woman with brain injury goes for medical treatment in China

Lorie Martin, an Auburn, Kentucky woman injured in a motorcycle accident, suffered a catastrophic brain injury and has been in intensive care and a long-term care facility since the accident.  She is travelling to China for intensive therapy and rehabilitation at the First Teaching Hospital in Tianjin with the help of agency China Connection Global Healthcare.

Lorie Martin’s husband learned about China Connection Global Healthcare through friends who were familiar with another Kentuckian, Devin Dearth, who had also travelled to China.  Dearth made significant improvement during his three-month stay in Tianjin following a stroke in 2008.

In the US, this kind of rehabilitation can reach $100,000 or more. The e cost will be less than $23,000 in China. While in Tianjin, Mrs. Martin will undergo intensive rehabilitation integrating modern Western techniques and traditional Chinese medicine therapies.  First Teaching Hospital is a world leader in integrated therapeutic treatment for stroke and neurological conditions.

China Connection Global Healthcare is an Iowa based medical tourism agency that sends patients to a network of world-class hospitals and physicians in Tianjin and Beijing, China at costs far below those in the United States.  Since 2006, CCGH has assisted hundreds of people from the US, Canada, the UK, India, Australia and Japan in finding the care they needed.

A feature length documentary about Devin Dearth’s medical care experience in China, called Dare to Triumph, is being produced by One In A Row Films.
