Quote from: two on December 04, 2021, 10:44:30 AM1 in 7000 chance of death from PE. Giochet has done 700 cases and has had 1 known death. Giotikas probably far fewer cases and has had 1 known death. Paley probably way more but no known deaths (I think?)
We should get stats from Betz. If even he has had deaths then maybe the clicking mechanism MIGHT have something to do with it.
Albizzia nail and family(betzbone and guichet nails) and other clicking nails (like ISKD) have been around since the 90's and more than a few thousands must have been implanted by all surgeons of that generation. Paley and Lee themselves have used them and have published studies that you can find online. If PE was related to the implant itself it would have shown through all these years, there wouldn't just have been 2-3 cases. You can't really have the same parameter applied to thousands of patients and only cause problem in 2 or 3 and then you come out and say that it was that paritcular parameter that caused it; Statistics doesn't work like that.
What is a proven fact is quite the opposite: Non weight bearing and immobility is a proven common factor for thrombosis. All doctors seem to agree with this because they prescribe blood thinners for the whole immobility period ie 4-5 months. But even with blood thinners the risk of blood clot is around 1-2%! from that prespective mechanical nails must theoritically be safer because of their weight bearing capacity.

Ok so we are gonna ignore the fact that surgeons with was less cases had a death but renowned ones like Paley,Rozbruch or Lee have 0 deaths with far more cases (1k+) and assume it was just luck based according to you/some others .

Although again, if you want to have access to those kinds of services while having your bandages changed by a junior college student, the role couldn't be more realistic.
Now, if you are an intelligent person who is conscious about the risks or this surgery, and you're looking for a professional and qualified team and service, with a head nurse who really knows what she/he is doing, then I would look elsewhere.
There is no way in hell I would put myself in the hands of the same team of nurses under whose command a patient has died, for one reason or another. Especially not with the head nurse.
And for the record, if a nursing professional accepts money from her patient to go take pictures of him, or take him to the movies hand in hand, explain to me what kind of nursing job she is doing for him.
If you are looking for escort girls who play being nurses, this is your team.
If you're looking to go home alive after this surgery, is not.
But it's your life, in the end you decide what value you put on it.
Escort girls? Dude, what's wrong with you? Some nurse tried to rape you or what that you are texting such BS here? And who the hell are you at all? Every patient knows each other here both in forum and in reality. When you did this surgery at all?
I pray for this guy that passed away and hope his family and other loved ones get through this pain. Can only imagine who he told and didn't tell and they find out he passed away like this. This is a good reminder to all of us to keep in mind of the risk when doing this. I also heard from a doctor that this isnt the riskiest cosmetic surgery out there. Is it possible operating doctor on this patient just wasnt as qualified as others in catching whatever happened soon enough to save the patient? I also think about how kanye west mom died during a cosmetic procedure. So it is true that any surgery has risk by i also agree with others who stated why havent we heard about this from other doctors. This definitely isn't a common thing. Is it possible that qualified doctors just know how to make proper adjustments based on complications while this doctor didn't?
An independent review found there was no fault on behalf of the doctor or the hospital. Plus Giotikas has been working for the NHS in the UK over a decade and frequently deals with war injuries. Cosmetic limb lengthening cases are amongst the easiest cases he treats. Granted, he is fairly new to the G-nail but I don't think the method makes much of a difference. I really think this is mostly down to bad luck.
Do you guys find the doctor warm and willing to answer questions? Or does he appear cold and with the attitude "just do as I say, don't ask too many questions"?

I'm hoping to hear from patients who've gone through the procedure with him.

I’m here in Athens. Week 5 for me. The doctor is very professional and always answers my WhatsApps. He believes strongly in his protocol and that he is doing the right thing. However you can ask him to try different medicines and more dosage and he works with you. The only thing most patients don’t understand is why during the inflammation phase ( clicks are painful for 8-10 days) we need to increase clicks to 21 a day for 7 days. . Some patient do it, some don’t, everyone turned out fine.

He does not get angry if you ask him to change any protocols like "I don't want to click 21 a day during inflammation phase, I don't want to take pain killers" or other questions you might repeatedly ask because of fear and worry?
