Quote from: helloworld on August 08, 2017, 07:17:51 AMI created a Whatsapp group for Dr. Monegal current and former patients, seperate from this forum.
This is private group, where Dr. Monegal has no access to, so we share everything about Dr. Monegal there. And of course I know about some bad stuff. So for me and every other patient Dr. Monegal is just a good doctor, nothing like a God, nor did I see that expressed here.
However, everybody, including Musicmaker, and including multi-millionaire patients, would go to him again, if they were to do LL, and Yagan is actually doing just that.
What you could do to find out, is to send a private message to each Monegal patient - there are a lot here- and ask, if they were to recommend him.
I can say the same for Dr. Guichet patients, I'm also in 2 whatsapp groups and there are a lot of multi-millionare patients who want to have another surgery with him. I think it is the same for all the doctors after they've had good results. Yes, I agree with you that this forum is biased and to contact individual patients might bring us closer to the actual truth but I wouldn't trust all from this forum. Anyway I'm not interested in Dr. Monegal as a doctor for my future tibia surgery (if I do it in the end), I would go to Dr. Catagni or Dr. Pili.

I've finished LL and I still recommend Dr. Monegal as a doctor. Why? Well, maybe because he has done a fabulous job with my legs and having had my last surgery in march I am already able to run. Look at helloworld and all the exercises he is able to do. I've yet to see any LLer capable of doing what he does. Sure, you can turn a blind eye to all of Monegal's best cases but the fact is that he is having a tremendous sucess with his patients, even as one of the cheapest doctors.
Actually, I speak 5 languages but I'm a master of none, so I apologize for not using the right terminology. What I meant is that many of the users here speak of the doctor in radical terms: He is the best in the world, etc etc. Look at me, I started to walk 2 months post op and normally 3 months post op... I'm back to normal life I go out, party, dance as if nothing had happened. Of course, I would wait until 6 months to start doing serious weight training and running, but I am being overly cautious it's in my nature. I don't turn a blind eye to Monegal best cases and I know every doctor has good and bad results, and many doctors have had as much success as him. It is the stories about him people who personally know him and his patients have told me that concern me. I don't think he is devoid of technical capacity, but I wouldn't say he is close to being the best.
They speak as if he was a God because they were indoctrinated. When good results people are happy but all this propaganda by Auron and Helloworld isn't normal. Patients know bad stories of this doctor's ethics and technical capacity so please get informed before getting the surgery with him.

If you want to know more, you can read all the post of "helloworld" and "auron". Does that seem like propaganda? Seriously? I am really trying to be objective and helpful to other members.
On the other hand read every post of realpatient and you will that he is not interested in contributing any knowledge or insights, but just destroy reputation of Dr. Monegal.
Yours are propaganda and everybody here agrees but the fanboys and the fangirl and I don't want to destroy his reputation. I want to avoid some new people's lives to be destroyed.

Now, you are being overly dramatic haha. You have to be fair, he is not a butcher from a third world country.
It is plain obvious there is exaggeration on both sides.

The truth is always somewhere in the middle and that is the case here.
Your sarcastic response does not change the fact that its weird how you all gather to defend mongeal. Maybe not treat him as a god but it is very weird like in your case where your fitbone was faulty the first time but you still are so adamant to defend mongeal. It almost does seem like South America says that you guys are looking to score points with mongeal.

I don't see where is the weirdness of defending a doctor from false statements. There is no such thing as scoring points with a doctor, in the end we all pay the same and are treated the same way since the doctor wants the best for all his patients, which is the best for the doctor as well (besides, we are all done with LL). Helloworld had a faulty nail and is still one of the most sucessful cases of LL history, I challenge you to find a LLer who is as fit as him less then a year post op. So, tell me, considering me and helloworld's physical condition, why shouldn't we recommend Dr. Monegal?
You already know Llusers vendetta and none take him seriously. So what is there to defend? After all mongeals work can speak for itself. Of course it is not a bad thing to recommend him but the way you guys talk in absolutes "as we all know mongeal is the best option" etc... makes it look like he is a all perfect doctor which we know does not exist. Thats why I say the truth is in the middle because he has had many good cases but too many things suggest that his ethics aren't the best as guichet.
