La Tania Medical Centre – Good Work!

Our friend Charlie had quite a wipeout early on in the season (on the blue Folyères run by the way) and bashed her leg up quite a bit although initial X-Rays showed nothing broken. Although large bruising she continued to hobble around a bit and thought she’d be skiing in a couple of weeks.

Anyway 5 and half weeks later and several hospital visits plus another X-ray they send her for an MRI scan and discover a tiny crack in her tibia. So small it didn’t show on 2 X-rays. The good news is that there doesn’t appear to be any ligament damage and she could be skiing again in 2 to 3 weeks….

Charlie says big thanks to Doctor Aude Joncquiert-Laterjet and her assistant Jacqui – really helpful and supportive, they’re a great asset to La Tania.

In the morning a telephone operator will take appointments by telephone. A secretary or a nurse will take charge in the afternoon. All emergencies will be accepted but we will try to see patients with an appointment as soon as possible. The centre is situated next to the La Tania gondola station.

Fully equipped with X-Ray equipment, stitching equipment as well as oxygen, nitrogen protoxyde, ventilation appliances and drip apparatus. Plaster cast and thermo-orthésis can be performed on site. Assistance can be given in case there is a need of transfer and repatriation through your private insurance.

In the case of a skiing accident the choice of Doctor and/or Medical Centre rests entirely with the trauma patient. As a “LA TANIA” patient you are entitled to request to be taken to the Medical Centre of La Tania for treatment. Obviously in an emergency situation the immediate care of the patient is the priority and the nearest appropriate centre or helicopter is used.
