Sucks that you had to go through all that especially considering it could all be avoided on their end. How do you feel now?
Yeah, I dodged a bullet there!!! Sure.

I'm doing good now. In fact, much better. I got a bit lazy last month and didn't exercise much. But now I'm back on my feet, walking a lot and cycling. My ballerina has gotten better and I'm optimistic that if I continue this way I'll be in good shape.

Seriously, what a bunch of utter imbeciles, but that's what happens when people aren't gambling with their own lives.

Btw fuji, i know you posted an x-ray but how bad was your bowleg? And did you experience any pain because of it?

Honestly, I didn't expect things to go this way. Phoenix's journey went a lot smoothly which is why I made this choice, but I guess true color comes out when complications arise. Also, Phoenix was his first patient to undergo this procedure with TSF from this forum, which might be the reason why his case was dealt with more attention. Anyways, I'm happy that things are good now, in spite of all that happened.

Regarding the severity of bow legs - I used to get calf pains and knee pains before during extended physical activity.

It's fine, i'm glad that it went smoothly.

I mostly ask about bowleg because i have constant knee pains and mild bowleg but i didn't get refunded surgery(not bowed enough) so ye.

Anyways good luck buddy, hope it will go smooth from now on.

Seems to me that Dr. Dhawan doesn't really give a sh*t about his patients.

In my opinion, a doctor's level of care towards the patient is just as important as the doctor's skill.

Making you come at 9 AM and then making you wait till 1 PM is bullsh*t, man! Who does that to a guy with 2 broken legs? And forgetting the laptop TWICE in a row? Never heard of.

And even I hate the term, "Don't worry". Yeah, don't worry because you can buy a new pair of legs at any open market, or better still you could order them online, get them delivered to you and just fix them on after throwing away your old ones. Why worry?

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience. But, in the end, you still have your new height, and I hope you'll soon forget all this and live your life with your new height happily.

I thought of that too - I was working with a private firm and they were willing to cover my expenses on the basis of bow leg correction surgery. However, I was afraid that if they come to know about height thing, it would compromise my integrity. So I did what was ethical, and bore the expenses myself.

Thanks man, yeah I'm happy with the new height and that consolidation phase is more relaxing than lengthening phase. He's not the nicest guy on the planet but end of the day he did fix all my complications, albeit a little adventurously.

Some aspects, like coming late are somewhat of an accepted norms with many Indian doctors. So I was somewhat mentally prepared to face these type of things when I decided to do this surgery in India. My intent in revealing this information is not to speak ill about anyone, but to let future LL'ers know what the facts are and how things are dealt with over in India, so that they have realistic expectations about the level of care and attention.

Fujitora, you seem to be playing it down.
Giving you General Anaesthesia when you instructed them not to is serious medical negligence.
And telling you that everything is fine and then 2 weeks later telling you that you need surgery to fix that is just pure carelessness.
You have a right to be angrier than you are now.
I actually admire your restraint

That General Anesthesia story is very worrying.
