At the same time why don't they ever come to the forum and support your claims? They'd be doing it on their own free will and such; at the same time if what you say is true then wouldn't they also feel the need to share this information freely? Why just disclose it to one person?
Patients don't want to talk about their complications because they are afraid of the doctor's reaction. Look at Crinsomtide's diary. He said some negative things (slightly negative) and doctor's reaction was out of proportion. That's the reason they prefer to remain silent. Unlike Crinsom, LL patients are still under their supervision. It's a basic principle of human psychology.
The attitude of MM, his biggest disaster, seems an instance of Stockholm syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological term used to describe the paradoxical phenomenon of the relationship that develops between a captor and its hostage. In such a relationship, to the amazement of onlookers, the captor expresses empathy and positive feelings towards their abusive captor, and often they will display a desire to defend them.
I understand your frustration, but I think you have invalid arguments.
Let me ask you, why not assume that Monegal is a very good doctor who cares about his patients? Don’t you think their normal reaction would be appreciation and defending? Interesting that you have mentioned Stockholm syndrome, it hardly applies in this case since his patients are from all over the world and have different levels of personal strength to sit &obey.
Enlighten us please, what do you see that others can’t? 
Dear all
I am so sad because LLuser1 does not like me.
His arguments Are steryle and, in MEDICAL opinion I would say he is Kind of obsessed.
Limb lengthening is extremely higth complicated procedure in which complication may arise even When doing a perfect Surgery.
I have witnessed in 15 years extremely terrible complications of some colleagues like sciatic nerve injury after knee scope or hand amputation after carpal syndrome decompression. Can you imagine? Straight forward procedure may end up in absolute tragedy.
Complications? Every doctor has and it is something that We do not like.
I am happy to say That i did not have Any infection, amputation, compatimental syndrome, fat embolism syndrome, deep vein trombosis or death.
Let me think...my complications. Well you all know That MM had a fracture after falling and Now she is fine. Stockholm syndrome? She is an Amazing patient and better person. Probably you should learn a bit more from her. When people has complications They need a doc That can fix it and people helping...rather than people thorowing whatever in forums.
Other That I can remember 1 implant changed because of bad function (That s probably better than precice 8% fail according to Munster precice nail users). WITTENSTEIN replaced the implant and I did change It free Cost, Of course.
And Yes 3-4 cases of screw loosening which I warn to all my patients. Is this a serious complication? Well surgeons We call it a problem. And We fix it in 10 minutes at OR with local anaesthetic.
Others like muscle tightness or neuropathic pain? Is this a surgical complication or this Is caused by distraction? Maybe Dr LLuser can explain us.
You want to make a negative impact in my practice and in my patients? You Are free to try It But believe me That I fix a lot of complications from other doctors and you will never see me posting whatever about them. That is the case of crinsom who got confused and mistook epidurall Block (to prevent pain) with a permanent nerve injury and he Just got nervous. He is trying to recover from his previous issues and still talks to me...probably he is not That angry.
Connected all day? Manipulate my patients diaries?
Sounds funny as I work 12-14 h a day mostly in OR, i do 20 surgeries per week...problem i only Connect throught my cellphone and most times leave it connected to the LL.
I tell my patients to write their diaries If They Feel so. But This is not a reality show and There is some information That needs to stay between doctor and patient. That a confidentiality between doctor and patient. And you know why I tell them this? To stay away from people like you who Take a loosen screw as a major complication because someone told you (you have never been here) and start s trolling campaign against me, my patients and Fitbone. Maybe you should show more respect for all of us.
You know What most doctors think about CLL patients? Maybe you wouldn t like to hear about it. And I do defend you and respect all of you. It seems like here the doctors who Are extremely trained, and Are very good professionals Are systematicaly atacked by some of you with trolling campaigns. No one escapes: Franz, Paley, Betz, Guichet... Probably you do not like us to be here.
You ask me with who I would undergo LL myself? Well I cannot operate myself...But Any doctor doing Fitbone, precice or his own nail (call It whatever) is a human being, an extremely trained and experienced doctor and someone who cares about people like you guys. None of us can escape from complications as This is an extreme treatment. But This is something We do not to put into public debate here.
The most important is my patients Are doing very Well and it seems That this is not normal for some of you guys. Bohemia posted a video yesterday walking upstairs and it was deleted. It is Weird.
Have a nice year all users even you LLuser1
Hello Dr Monegal can you share what most doctors think of CLL patients. It would be interesting to hear.
i'm not that angry
i plan on going to muscle recovery center in barcelona
i have a slight nerve issue, but not fro monegal... because of dr shah.
Number of cm and names of doctors would be valuable, yes.
I see bad cases are more numerous than good and neutral cases. Serious complications abound everywhere.
Why aren't the patients from Spain in this list? Not finished? Muskcmaker should be included in the list of serious complications (corrective surgeries required /callus fracture/ and loss of functionality).

In the past few weeks, you've brought more awareness to Monegal's practice, both good and bad, but your actions are becoming increasingly detrimental to our community. It'd actually be useful if you could back up your claims: like American guy getting ex-fixed, or musicmaker having loss of functionality.
My biggest issue is that you're spinning a massive amount of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) for all prospective patients for some things that are completely false like the 2 points made above.
I have seen her and her x-rays in real life. Her fractured leg is straight, fully consolidated and has no problems weight bearing. Yes this is a serious complication, but I'd give the doctor credit for being able to solve said complication.
Your beef is with the doctor, we get that, but I don't understand your obsession with musicmaker.
You could alternatively go on a crusade against the biggest salesmens (Betz, Mahboubian) or some of the truly awful Indian or Eastern European doctors. Who do you work for?
Is LLuser1 getting to me? Cause these two statements sounds a lot like they were made by the same person. Again I hope this is not taken the wrong way, but just would like some clarification.
