Quote from: Kilokahn on February 28, 2014, 01:45:25 AMIt's one thing to view something with scrutiny, but it's another to be rude outright. If Dr Betz's own info e-mail address responded and confirmed that it him posting on the forum, then what else is there to demand as proof? Yes it is important that people who have had bad experiences with doctors are able to freely post about it on the forum. At the same time, the doctors themselves should have just as much freedom to respond. In any case, let's all be civil in what we say. Lately things have gotten out of hand with the name calling and rude posts. The number one thing people come here for is free and open medical information. We want this forum to continue to grow. It's counterproductive to drive people away.


I agree.  It's one thing to ask questions to verify.  It's another to accuse somebody without any logic.   We want discussions to be base on facts, not baseless accusations. That is why I have removed handy's posts, so we can move this discussion on to something more rational and factual.    It shouldn't take us long to verify Augustine/Dr Betz identity, which is the crux of the issue. 

Update: I have received an email from  [email protected]  (email address of Betz Institute) to verify that Dr Betz is registered here with the username Augustine.

I have been in contact with Dr Betz and Mime.

Dr Betz sent me a Pm with the following views.

"You are right that this is an open forum but it isn't at all correct to be named as a liar, the worst doctor ever and also to be compared with a nazi doctor. This also wouldn't be correct in the real world. Mime can talk about his experiences but in a sober way. The way he is talking about my person cannot be accepted by me and is also not allowed according to the agreement in this forum. Maybe you have an influence on him to give statements in a professionnal way."

Upon revision, Mime has request that some previous comments regarding Dr Betz be removed or edited.   Mime sent me a PM with the following request
 
" Would it be possible to remove or revise some of my earlier post which sometimes were written in anger and went over the top? This would also help the discussion in general. 

Those posts are too harsh and insulting. I don't want to insult Dr Betz but only criticize him. E.g. the nazi comparison.  it is certainly not appropriate.  i wrote them in anger and i understand now that they were insulting and not appropriate and not conform to the forum rules. I do apologize for them.   

Hope you understand. The discussion should become more rational."

Hello Augustine

Was the old albizzia 11 mm nail stronger? Because there is no case of bent 11 mm albizzia on old forum . It looks like the 11 mm betzbone is not strong? Is that true? I heard there is a new betzbone 11 mm with 20 clicks? Is that nail better? Less bending problems?

I hope Dr Betz would come back and visit this forum again to have his side on these cases.

Wrong.
I am in contact with Stillyoung and I know that he never had a broken nail.
It is true that he had a titanium replacement but he did only did for reasons of precaution.

I think it is terrible that you spread wrong information. How can you do this??
This is a safe way to destroy a doctors reputation. And the doctor does not really have a chance to prevent this because he is too busy with other things...
I think it it is very sad and unfair...

Quote from Stillyoung:

QuoteHowever, because of my size and the slight bending of my nails, Dr. Betz kept me on crutches through my 4 month post-clicking x-rays.

I bent one of my nails to the point that it was starting to break.

Alas, I had to fly back to Germany two weeks ago to have titaniums put in.

Hey Stadio,
I apologize.
Stillyoung is doing very good at the moment, maybe that's why I forgot the complication when I came back a little drunk from party last night and wrote my post... Sorry Dr Betz Complications! Nail/Screws Break and Require More Money and Surgery
