Dr Alex Monegal (Barcelona, Spain) Clinica Diagonal

So much drama around one doctor. Not a good impression

Edit Post

As someone who recently visited with Dr. Monegal I can tell everyone that all the bad news you hear about him is 100% true. Not only did I speak with several patients in private who told me their own horror stories about Dr. Monegal care and how they regretted having surgery with him, but every single female patient I spoke to said that he constantly hits on them and makes them feel very uncomfortable. Two girls started crying to me back in their rooms about how much they regret their decision and feel like they are in the care of an abusive partner. It was so sad... I have every reason to believe these girls because Dr. Monegal hit on me during my consultation and made me feel very uncomfortable. He really is quite a sleezeball.

As for the male patients I spoke to. The stories about their complications completely freaked me out. I would never have imagined so many people are suffering such terrible complications. There was a guy who can't even walk properly and he had surgery almost 3 years ago. Another guy has had something like 5 operations on just one leg to try and fix his problems with no improvement. One guy told me that the pain is so unbearable at times that he sometimes thinks about purposely overdosing on pain meds. He said his life is ruined so whats the point in living. He had femur surgery over 2 years ago and lengthened less than 6cm. I didn't sleep for a couple of night after my consultation. I was so lucky I met those people in private and they told me they would never have said anything if Dr. Monegal was around. It's a good thing my parents are originally from a Spanish speaking country and taught me Spanish growing up. It might have saved me from making the worst decision of my life.

I created my own thread about my experience with Dr. Monegal.

Quote from: Datum on August 30, 2017, 08:40:00 PMYour stupidity, not mine. The professional duty of confidentiality for doctors covers what patients may reveal to doctors and what doctors may conclude, based on their assessment of patients. Confidentiality covers all medical records (including x-rays, ) as well as communications between patient and doctor,. The duty of confidentiality continues even after patients stop seeing or being treated by their doctors. Once doctors are under a duty of confidentiality, they cannot divulge any medical information about their patients to third persons without patient consent.


What Is Covered By Doctor-Patient Confidentiality?

The professional duty of confidentiality covers not only what a patient may reveal to the doctor, but also any opinions and conclusions the doctor may form after having examined or assessed the patient. Confidentiality covers all medical records (including medical history, pre-existing medical conditions, x-rays, lab-reports, etc.), as well as communications between the patient and the doctor. Generally, this also includes communications between the patient and other professional staff working with the doctor.

What Constitutes a Breach of Confidentiality?

A breach of confidentiality occurs when a patient's private information is disclosed to a third party without his or her consent. There are limited exceptions to this, including disclosures to state health officials and court orders requiring medical records to be produced.
Patient confidentiality is protected under state law. If a patient's private information is disclosed without authorization and causes some type of harm to the patient, he or she could have a cause of action against the medical provider for malpractice, invasion of privacy, or other related torts. Of course, if the patient consented to the disclosure, no breach occurred.

How Long Does Doctor-Patient Confidentiality Last?

The duty of confidentiality continues even after a patient has stopped seeing or being treated by that particular doctor. The duty even survives the death of a patient. That means if the patient passes away, his or her medical records and information are still protected by doctor-patient confidentiality.

It's easy to copy paste but do you know how to interpret it?

No where in all your copy pasted text says the doctor can't show his whatsapp msgs to another patient. What cannot be done is sharing personal and medical information about his patients, not just to other patients but to the ppl in general.

Oh and please, note this:

1st- "Cooper" doesn't exist, and even if cooper existed, what ever information that Monegal could possibly share about "Cooper" was already made public by "cooper" in this forum. He has a god damn diary of his LL experience.

2nd- Your text is worth ZERO. I'd like you to prove anything in a spanish court presenting this source.

How do you know that Cooper doesn't exist ? I have read his diary and there are a lot of users here that believes him,some stated that are still in contact with him.
Do you have proofs ? If not,it's hard to believe you

You have no idea what your talking about Datum; just another example of your assumptions and off the cuff posts.  Doctor/Patient confidentially relates to PHI (Personal Health Information) and that was not shared...except what Cooper himself shared on this forum.  Anything posted on this forum is information in the public domain.  Confidentiality does not apply to information in the public domain nor would it apply to messages simply showing concern that one attempted to make contact.

Albeit totally within his rights, Copper posted some very scathing and derogatory posts about Monegal.  Yet, Monegal still wanted to engage Cooper.  He didn't just say the hell with him and move on to the next paying prospect like a money grubbing prick like he often suggest. 

Your ignorance and maligned behavior is just stunning.  It's mind boggling why you seem to think that what could be interpreted as slanderous behavior is ok, but its out of line for actual patients to disagree you. in fact I question if you even have a second hand source; you seem perfectly content on speaking out of your butt hole.

Cannot remain shut up.

As a female patient from Dr Monegal what #Longhairgirl says is absolutely FAKE. I have never seen such a bunch of lies, and I ask moderators to take action inmediately.

Regarding #Datum we all know he is a troll and always comes to post the same stories under different Alias time after time. What trolls do not realize is that everytime you put MONEGAL in the net you are attracting more and more attention towards him. If people read carefully they will find only one or two people trolling and attacking and a lot of positive stories like #yagen #helloworld #Kirp1 and many others. There are 2 ways...follow the trolls or the patients.

#LLsouthamerica is a diferent story. He is a troll fan or troll's pet. No point in any of his supportive posts to the troll. Maybe he is not even a true patient. But cannot see the point to all his anger. He is not a patient of dr Monegal... Maybe he is angry after undergoing surgery with a more expensive doctor with a way more painful method.

As I said in my thread this doctor changed my life for ever. I cannot be more thankful.
He is a great surgeon, better person and surgeon instructor for CLL. This pisses off some ignorant people and creates haters...The better you are the more haters you will have.

Your iq isnt high enough to understand what I meant by "Cooper" not existing so I won't bother to explain.

I'm trying to be fair now. I've received information from some expatients and they say they don't know those girls. I met one guy in touch with MICS staff and he says they don't know about this. I have to be fair. However they said LLuser was right about one old guy living MICS (not Monegal patient) who had a femur fracture and died and Musicmaker was in hospital september last year not for work (as Monegal said) but for complications. This is what I know from MICS through my friends.

I am not a troll fan or troll's pet. I simply speak and warn other because of the Monegal stories I heard during my lengthening and because of the patients I've spoken to through this forum.
It's easy to attack the person instead of what they are saying. I have no anger towards Monegal. I'm not a patient of his, and I'm VERY glad I'll never be. I can pay for more capable and ethical doctors.

I've said the things I wanted to say, only to warn people against going to Monegal. I've heard of faulty nails, loose screws, fractures. I haven't particularly confirmed many of the allegations from Datum or this new user, but I've plenty of reason to believe at least part of what they are saying.

Not all my posts are directed to attack Monegal, I'm simply trying to help others. You can believe that or not.

Edit Post

a bunch of trolls came here to accuse dr monegal of many dire things,but they cannot prove anything .who accuses must bring the proves. Only words without any prove,that is easy. And besides it , why someone will  lose your own time to help strangers,it does not make any  sense at all.
