Dr Mangal Parihar (Mumbai India)- Mangal Anand Hospital

Edit Post

i know he says it can take upto 8 weeks but realistically how long does it take?

Thanks for posting this information!

1. Does Parihar use gnail (Guichet nail)? How much does it cost?

2. What are your thoughts on going to India after getting a third covid shot? I'm considering it but am still a bit worried about the covid cases

I'm not sure between Giotikas and Parihar. Parihar has more year of experience + is cheaper. But Mumbai and his hospital seem not as clean. Then there is Kilohan and some others getting malaria in Mumbai. And there are the covid cases in India.

1. No, although years ago he considered it when Precice wasn't available. He wasn't a fan of it not being able to reverse lengthening if needed, though.
2. If you're fully vaccinated and even have an additional booster, if you still manage to get covid your symptoms are going to be much lower than that of someone not vaccinated, so you should be fine if you just take your standard precaution with mask use.   

3. I didn't get malaria, I got some stomach bug after eating some ice cream from an outside lowboy cooler. Malaria is a potential risk though if you're not protected so I took anti-malarial medication called Atovaquone-Proguanil prescribed by my doctor starting the day before I flew there.

Better to avoid India if you want 100% privacy. There are no laws in India that protect medical privacy and people don't care generally.

India is now being a sthole and if you rather die you can go there for LL.
Indian sitations of Covid-19 are very awfully blue and the viruses have mutated.
Now there are stacks of rotten away corpses along the Ganges river.

I am yet to see ONE death in front of my eyes. Have people died? 100% yes. Just like people have died in the US or germany or elsewhere. Media in India is run by the opposition to a large extent( some are directly controlled by the ruling party though). So one section of the media blows things out of proportions.

India is a big place. Bombay and Kanpur have nothing in common. Delhi and Bangalore are very different. Calcutta and Lucknow have a ZERO in common. The river thing youre talking about is of UP and Bihar. Two of the poorest states that we always avoid.

Many people died in Delhi Idk why. Delhi is India's capital and for some reason the healthcare there collapsed. But it happened to all countries.

One should be fully vaccinated if they come here though since humantohuman transmission rates are far far far higher than any other country because of which there might be many mutants.

so although there is an element of truth to your words but it's highly exaggerated

Thanks! What's a specific example you heard about that would affect someone, ex: so in India you are saying they would publicize your leg lengthening to other people?

My current plan is:

1. Do a virtual consultation w/ Giotikas like April of 2022 ish , gather the labwork/x rays, etc needed to clear me for the surgery, etc

2. September of 2022, Giotikas femurs to 7.5 cm w/ weight bearing Gnail

Then wait a year to recover

3. 4 months before planned surgery, do a virtual consultation w/ Parihar + start gathering all the labwork/xrays etc

4. Then to save money, go w/ Parihar 6 cm tibia Precise 2

And then my hope is w/ the experience of doing it once w/ Gnail, I'll be ready for a more difficult challenge of:

- not being in a western nation
- wheelchair the whole time w/ Precise 2
- differences in cleanliness of Greece vs India
- I'm guessing that Athens, Greece and Mumbai have similar percentage of English speakers?

I am wondering to myself 'is my idea retarded? Am I overlooking anything?' I emailed Parihar asking if he uses gnail. He just said look at my website and I only see mention of precise 2. Is my timeline not realistic/not enough time to do things like get the labwork/prepare?

Who told you that lol? There is no country where it won't be considered a crime. A doctor can't reveal anything at all. We do have privacy laws. India is just another country where humans live lol.
