I'm a real patient. Yes he controls everybody here and what they post and he doesn't allow the slightest criticism but please go back to Unicorn
Quote from: helloworld on July 26, 2017, 04:13:13 PMSo you actually are a real patient, realpatient?
Would you tell us which doctor?
You are talking a lot about Monegal, but it could not be him, because every person who had a surgery with him, talks very positively about him, including Musicmaker.
The thing that Musicmaker speaks good for a doctor after a so bad outcome is a proof that Monegal manipulates what is writter here from his patients.
I hate my ex doctor for doing atl to my legs and make me 5 years after to do another surgery to have normal sport abilities again.
If I was at Musicmaker's position I would hate Monegal for not having functional legs years after the surgery.
So Helloworld you and the patients who had good outcomes have every reason to write good words about Monegal. But patients like Mucikmaker have no reason and it is really suspicious that they talk with so positive words although they have terrible results.
I really can't understand it and makes me very suspicious about Monegal's case.
@pizzagate: with about the same money you can go in Rozbruch and Paley who are the best in the world. With less money you can go in Pili or Burkholz. Even Monegal and Betz are better cases imo although there are much contradictions about them.
In a few words, every doctor mentioned here (except Indian ones) who does LL is a better choice than Guichet imo.
As I mentioned from the beginning, I'm a nerd and a stickler for details. Here is a list of my complications :
1. Eggshell fracture on left leg during surgery
2. Left leg fractured fully 2 weeks later
3. Lengthened gap of 3cm crushed to 0cm
4. Non-union of the right leg
5. Nail breaks during 3rd surgery
6. Blood clot from marrow graft
7. Hospitalization for wound site infection
8. Runaway lengthening of right leg to 9.8cm (with non-union)
9. Left leg genu valgum (inward rotation causing knock knees)
Perhaps some or all above could have been prevented with professional vigilance. At a glance, you'd think someone made up a scary list to warn patients from going to back-alley facilities.

And all these from an "experienced" doctor who has some of the most expensive fees in the world.
I really wonder, especially after all these, how someone would give so much money to have surgery with a dr like him.

Inexplicably Musicmaker thinks he's hot. 'Hottest guy in the forum' (her words). She's a love-blind puppet and can be manipulated. Other patients are also manipulated.

I'm sorry Unicorn888. I hope you get better with NHS. I don't know if complications could have been avoided with professional vigilance. Musicmaker had similar issues but in Dr Monegal's case we don't know if he's clueless about what's happening or if he denies reality to justify himself. Cooper explained this in his diary
QuoteLate last year I went to see Dr. Rozbruch in New York to check on tibia. Immediately after reading x-ray he pointed out 3 major issues. 1) Provactum tibia bone curving 2) Fibula migrated up. 3) low callous and possible non-union 4) lost nerve on feet about 25% (not major but had to fix). Dr. R advised to fixed all three and his assistant wrote a note which I forwarded monegal right away. I asked precisely to Dr. R what can be done with him. The answer was reverse everything and put external fixator for tibia and small monorail for tibia and lengthen. I was devastated to hear that!
I emailed monegal and hoped he can correct the issue. But he denied any of that need fix. Similar response to Crimson: ‘everything is fine'... He also advised me not see any LL specialist. I told him ok. But I was not stupid.
QuoteMonegal Issues: 1) Dishonest: His manipulates deliberately and black mailed his patient to write good things about him and defend him as often as necessary. You cannot trust this doctor and his patient specially from Spain!!!... 2) Unethical: If you are not honest than you do not have ethics. Especially in this profession you want to go to doctor who respects patient rights, if something is not right than let the patient know and possible solution to fix. Just not to say everything will be ok. You need more time. ... 7) Forum: He is using forum to fish new patient and anyone raised flag he tries to shut him off either by himself or through his patient. He gets mad to his patient if anyone writes bad thing and continuously monitor forum thread. He probably spends more time in forum than any of us out here. ... 9) Complication: Almost all of his patient has some complications. Many of them cannot walk without crutches. Complications includes but not limited to premature fitbone fracture, fitbone malfunctions, loose screws, serious nerve issue, misalignment and unkown. Unknown are other complications which patient does not know because they have not seen other LL specialist.
I'm sorry to post this quote in your diary but Cooper information is interesting to clear up the Monegal debate and banning him as an option.

Monegal is hot as ****. I'm a straight guy but I would pick Monegal over Musicmaker any day! I feel so manipulated, my fingers are typing on their own.
I think the Monegal and Guichet debate is of no importance. Now that we have all the information on the table, each of us can reach his own conclusion. The result should be obvious for all so I won't write it.
I think what Unicorn does from now is what is most important. She is a great person who deserves the world! Eventually, all of this will be a bad story of her past and nothing more.
Quote from: LLSouthAmerica on July 26, 2017, 05:35:15 PMCome on helloworld, you and I both know that it's because Dr. Monegal doesn't allow his patients to speak bad of him in the forum.
Musicmaker and I are good friends by now. And we share everything about LL experience with each other and she is saying in private the Monegal is best doc for LL.

I cannot agree more with LLSouthAmerica here. Definitely not a Guichet vs Monegal boxing match.
Speaking from personal experiences, LLSouthAmerica and YellowSpike are both spot on, in their analysis of Guichet. Including the fact that he's a very skilled surgeon who can make the procedure look easy the way an olympic ice skater makes a triple salchow look effortless. As Cobalt pointed out, his repairs were impeccable.
And I do not disagree with the word genius being attributed to Guichet, because along with his IQ comes a lack of EQ. As LLSouthAmerica stated, his treatment while technically proficient, is lacking a human element, and empathy is sometimes most needed when all else fails.
Funnily enough, I did choose Guichet partly because I was allergic to charming doctors. Guichet being borderline rude, despotic and arrogant was initially celebrated by us patients as it represented the anti-thesis of a quack - conclusion, we were in safe hands. However, when I was at my absolute lowest - in pain, unable to click, having lost my savings, alone, homeless and being robbed during move/renovation, Guichet's apathy becomes a liability. His only obsession at that point being patient blaming and payment. My coping mechanism went into overload and I was near suicidal.
A little kindness would have gone a very long way. Having seen an NHS psychologist recently, what I went through is a harrowing example of psychological abuse, emotional trauma and PTSD. And it is definitely the last thing a struggling patient needs from a doctor.
That said, let's see if empathy and charm can sort me out now. Perhaps a dose of tough love is always needed with geniuses.
I agree Unicorn's diary shouldn't be polluted with the boxing match. We can open a new thread. From my experience the only thing I can advice is beware of charm for charm is sometimes false. Dr Guichet was harsh from the beginning. Other doctors can be charming at first and then turn to Mr Hyde and attack their own patients like Helloworld and Musicmaker who had their asses sold to German.
