An Irishman who has been a resident of Chennai in the last 50 years recently underwent a successful hip surgery in India. Three months ago, ninety-nine-year-old Patrick Manning, an entrepreneur, injured his hips after falling in the bathroom.

Manning’s family decided to bring him to the Malar Hospital for further medical investigation after other hospitals refused to operate on Manning because of his advanced age. For more than 2 months, the Irishman had to suffer from his fractured hip and had to stay in bed during the period. He was beginning to get bed sores from being confined in bed.
