Quote from: overandover on March 09, 2022, 04:51:55 PMI agree but I think it's hard to get diameter and stuff from the x-ray so doctors prefer CT or EOS scans.
Giotikas uses xrays only. Assayag also used xrays only until they recently got an EOS machine. Rozbruch still uses xrays I think.
The problem with CT is you can't shield your gonads

Yeah, x-rays are much better. I don't think Assayag or Rozbruch measure diameter or they have to measure diameter accurately. They can do that during surgery but that's not an option for Parihar as in India they order the nail for that size and it takes a month to arrive. Assayag and other US doctors generally have multiple sizes stock readily available during the surgery.

When are you planning and how much length do you want to do?
Quote from: overandover on March 11, 2022, 10:24:48 AMWhen are you planning and how much length do you want to do?
8cm and ready now. Honestly I am deciding between GNail (Guichet or Giotikas) and Precice (Parihar).
I am not Indian, so that is one worry I have. Whether I can get the license for Precice easily. I don't even have an Indian ID. I guess the only way to find out is to apply and see. Cure surgical have done it before it seems.
You are scheduled for this month?

With Gnail are you aware if patients can now click alone?
Quote from: Stretch on March 11, 2022, 12:50:33 PMWith Gnail are you aware if patients can now click alone?
Yeah it seems patients are now clicking by themselves. With Guichet apparently it has always been the case. You can never be sure though. One morning you wake up and can't click for whatever reason and you have to go to the doctor. Both Drs Guichet and Giotikas spend half their time in any location.
I have more trust in precice and I generally trust Dr Parihar is a safe and conservative doctor in the same price range. Thats why I am considering him. It's just way more paperwork to get it done in India however.

Why not do precice with Giotikas?

It is still an option but some of the reasons are
He splits his time between 2 locations.
I know someone close in Mumbai who can support me.
How did you decide between them both?

Couldn't get a long-term visa for the EU. They said they want a leave approval letter from my employer and I said I won't be on a leave but will be working remotely so they rejected the visa cause they don't want you to work remotely from EU.
