He is not like Betz in the sense of stopping to answer your messages after a while. I'm more than 3 months post-op and he always answers all my doubts, regardless of how many they are. In fact, he does it pretty fast usually. So he is very professional in that regard. Of couse, he is not "warm", but that's his character. For example, he tends to give short explanations because he is the doctor and he is the one who has knowledge about the situation. From a personal standpoint, I like people like Assayag who dedicate time to explain patients even the most minor things, but that's not common between doctors: the common rule is that they just expect you to comply.
This is not a critic to Giotikas because, as I said, that is the common character for doctors. To sum up, I would say he is pretty professional and won't let you hanging like other doctors, but of course, you can't expect "moral" support if that's what you are asking.

No, he does not get angry. He just speak very official. Most patients did not do 21 clicks. Everyone’ has concerns so he understands we ask him lots of questions. Also because we are 10 patients here, we all speak to each other and try to give the best advice that worked for each of us. .

Exactly. Well said. He gives answers and is very respectful but he is not a therapist who encourages you and deals with emotional or moral support. He does not give long detailed explanations for his reasoning etc. Its more like this is what’s doctor said let’s try our best to follow it.

10 patients and are you all G-Nail patients?

No. 2 presice. 2 Externals on Tibias. The rest G-nail.
it is nice to hear that you guys have formed a group with each other. at least you have each other for support during the process! good luck to all of you 
Actually, he can even be supportive. Maybe that's not very common. But for example I was very disappointed about my condition after the nailing surgery. We had 2 talks: first one while I was still in the hospital and another one via video call. He really tried to motivate me.

Bro, a little correction: 2 Precise, 2 LATN tibia, the rest G-nail.
你做手术了吗
Although I understand that the cause of this tragedy is not anyone's fault, I still want to ask, if the symptoms of this unfortunate patient can be detected early, whether by himself or by the hospital, and attract enough attention from doctors to save the crisis? Or can patients just watch themselves get embolism and die willingly?
