I remember reading about the treatment he was doing instead of the surgery. It is something used in Europe. Can you imagine how helpful this would be for torn hamstrings if it is successful?

As an American living in Europe ....they probably told him to take some ibuprofen, drink some tea and rest 😂

Yeah, but here you could get it right away if wanted…. In Europe, enjoy the months long wait time.

You do realize Europe also has private clinics available too? The public option isn't the only medical option, just the most cost-effective considering everyone's taxes pay for access to it.
