Dr. Betz in court: news article

Edit Post

Quote from: fivetenneeded2016 on January 27, 2019, 02:57:21 PMAll patients who got complications are over 40, or atleast late thirties. Its the same case betz(this guy or macraperhy), guichet(unciorn) or even paley. There is some news on a older lady too suing paley(not sure for ll but still). They are not magic surgeons, just that these docs have good success rates.
It also depends a lot on the individual.


Also i feel the person on the news is masterhy, since he did it in 2013(same as master's timeline) and also seeign the price <50k Eur, which now is 52k Eur. also his starting height is same as master's and the amount lengthened too is master's length achieved.

There are rumors spread by oldiebutgoldie that hes dead, but seeing the news, I doubt it. Thanks for the info anyway , glad to know master is alive.

my first thought was of masterhy too. no idea how closely the story and timelines match, but i'll be doing some digging. very interesting.

Oldiebutgoldie, is that lad dead or what? rgkey apparently died aswell

This guy isn't Masterhy. He's probably dead.
This is a different guy who had complications with Betz.

What?? MasterHY is dead?

I hope my friend Monegal will be in court very soon…
These negligent CLL doctors must be punished in court.

It's actually an advertisement with "actors"  They make a real patient "act" like he is getting out surgery from bed at 6:31 in the video. At 2:18 they have actors for a "driver" and "prospective patient".  Conducting interviews with patients like Dr. Mahboubian does is fair but this is a whole other level 

The driver is not an actor at all. His name is Thomas Backes and he's Betz's driver. When I was there in Germany he would drive me and the other patients around (e.g. from Park Hotel to Neunkirchen, etc...). He is an awesome guy, by the way. Very fun to be around.
I have no idea where you got the idea that he is an actor.

Can't believe it's been a year since I made this thread. I wonder what happened to the case.

I don't know if the driver is an actor or not I might have been mistaken. But he has certainly "acted" for this ad. The prospective patient too.

Worst of all is the patient who is made to get up from bed with the "warm help" offered by Dr. Betz. awww. He must have had surgery weeks ago but they asked him to lie back in bed to recreate a post-op scene  That was the funniest.

I still can't believe how they can make an ad like this when major life changing complications have happened to at least one patient under their care. Not to mention numerous nail breaks with older versions of the nail. It's certainly not a picnic.

Please don't start saying there are good cases too. That's not the point. This is a major life changing procedure. This ad is a big let down to medical ethics.

To be honest, the ad is a pretty good representation of my experience with Betz. Thomas, Daniela and Ivonne are all "playing" themselves; the video was shot at the clinic in Neunkirchen where I stayed when took my nail out in 2013 (my surgery was in another wing in the hospital).

The way the patient is clicking and walking is how most patients do. Some like me had to do a different movement for clicking because it was easier for us, but overall the video is pretty dead on.

Oh, and Betz actually do help you get up and out of your bed after the surgery. He certainly did with me.

I won't just say there was "good cases too". I'll say that in my time in Germany (more than six months at Park Hotel in Weiskirchen) I didn't see any nail breaking IN GERMANY. I did meet people that came back to fix the nail that was broken outside of Germany.
If anything, I think Dr. Betz should rethink the policy of letting the patients fly so early back home (like Apotheosis in the old forum).

Note that even Andrewshizzles, which had a hard time in Germany (I was there at the same time, he had the worst case of duckass of all of us) only broke the nail when he went back home. And later Betz fixed him and he is pretty happy with the result (I know because I talked with him just two years ago about this).

I also met some patients with bad results with their Tibias (mostly very slow consolidation, all female patients). Overall I think Betz is a very doctor for the femurs. I'm still not sure about the tibias.

Stop spreading false information. The so-called actor portraying the driver is Thomas, whom I met in Germany this year when I had the surgery. He has been driving for Dr. Betz for many years. You are lying to the limb lengthening community.
