Dr Parihar vs Dr Monegal

Edit Post

Quote from: Antonio on February 20, 2017, 05:41:49 PMOf course the price with Dr. Monegal is one of the attractive reasons to go with him; that's why this thread is called Dr. Parihar vs Dr. Monegal, and not Dr. Paley vs Dr. Monegal. Not everyone can be millionaires! Like everything else in life, there are pros and cons.

But there are many other reasons to go with Dr. Monegal over Dr. Parihar:
1. Experience with internal rods for LL is higher
2. Quality of surgical team, ICU, and hospital is higher
3. Recovery experience in Barcelona is better

All those criticising Dr. Monegal based on Cooper's comments are using hearsay, none of them have actually done LL with him, and are simply guilty of selective bias as they are ignoring all the good comments about Dr. Monegal.

I agree with all this. However one thing that does worry me is the fact that one of his patients considered amputation. That is freaking scary

Bodybuilder and TBIKE have posted accurate information regarding my current status

Members should go by what I say now, not when I was very depressed and  still early in my recovery

Limb Lengthening takes a very very long time to recover from.  I'd say if you lengthen tibia over 6 cm, it's not unreasonable to still be recovering 2.5 years later. This is the reality

Members should also take into account that  correcting my deformity meant breaking my leg again and placing a rod into it. I   was not realistic about  recovery time as I had already been recovering well over a year when I had the rod inserted.  Psychologically, I could not handle the reality.

Recovering from a broken tibia can take a year or more to recover from for an otherwise healthy person.  My legs had suffered  extreme trauma already, so recovery took even longer. Look at my  writing style back then and you can see how distressed I was. I could barely type

I am not 100% yet, not even 80%, but that is not due to Monegal.   I walk now without a  limp or if there is one, it is  so tiny as to not be perceived. My push off is poor, ankles seem a bit loose,  I have a very slight length discrepancy, and some minor nerve issues with my left foot. All of this occurred before Monegal. My situation with regard to these 3 issues did not worsen after he corrected my  leg.  I did have a deformed looking  left leg and had a noticeable limp which I do not have now. I also suffer no knee pain.  I mean none, zero.

If my tibia is not 100% aligned, it has to be  close to that number. 

I'm not saying Monegal is perfect, or that I was happy 100% of the time with him, but I have a good relationship with him that  is based entirely on the outcome of my surgery

 This is how  I feel as of February 20, 2017

Quote from: notimportant on February 18, 2017, 10:28:34 PMI don't expect Auron or Musicmaker to tell the truth because they are current patients like Helloworld. That's like asking Dr Monegal himself. Waste of time.
...................
Both are my friends, and I am sure they are telling the truth.
...................
Dr Baumgart deveoped his Fitbone with Betz, not Guichet. Baumgart and Guichet have been together in LL meetings but didn't develop a nail together.

I guess you are right about this. But at least, Baumgart was well aware of the Guichet technology and decided he did not want a mechanical clicking but an engine inside the implants.

You aren't as informed as you say.

I think I am, but you have done a lot of research as well!

 Your Phd not in medicine.

I admit that.

Crimsontide, great to hear from you.

Do you think that if you would have done Femur instead, the outcome would have been different? Do you feel that you would have recovered faster.

What if you did 5.5 cm to the femur?

Your answers are invaluable to us that are looking to see Dr Monegal. I have heard that deaths and potential amputations have been considered by patients of his.

Since this is an open forum and we are allowed and encouraged to give our honest opinions, then here is mine.

Dr. Monegal has already ruined two of his patients lives, and these are just the ones we know about. Musicmaker and Cooper. Fortunately for Cooper he went to Dr. Rozbrusch and Dr. Paley to fix the horrific mistakes of Dr. Monegal, and have the ability to live life like a normal human being again. Musicmaker has stuck with Dr. Monegal and she is still living life like a cripple. How many more patients of Dr. Monegal ended up just like Musicmaker and Cooper that we don't know about? Nobody knows...

Let's not forget Musicmaker was lying about her condition to everyone on this forum to protect Dr. Monegal until she had to confess that she's been living life in a wheelchair for years. We all know why patients of Dr. Monegal withhold information or put out only positive information about him, because Dr. Monegal monitors this forum. We know this because of the following sentence i'm about to type.

Dr. Monegal responds to posts on this forum like he is a child throwing a temper tantrum. He has said about half a dozen times that he will no longer respond or post on this forum. Sure enough a little time goes by and here he comes to post again and throw another temper tantrum.

Anyone who considers Dr. Monegal is very simply looking for a way to save money and have surgery in Europe because they think it's safer just because it's Europe. Well, Cooper and Musicmaker and countless other suffering unnamed patients of Dr. Monegal thought that the same thing, and we all know how that turned out...

I'd take your "opinions" seriously if you could back up your statements. I'm still waiting for you to answer my previous question.

Edit Post

How many of you have had your nail removed and don't need the doctor anymore? None. You still here because you depend on him.

The difference with other doctors is Dr Monegal is monitoring the forum all day. Other doctors don't care and you can take their patients' opinions more seriously.

I don't need Monegal anymore. I have a rod currently in me leg that could be left in  forever

You`re full of contradictions. If the rod can stay forever why do you want it to be removed? You said you are having the rod removed by Monegal in June. So you need to be in good terms with him to get a good price ... and nobody wants to be in bad terms withe the surgeon who will operate on them. Cooper went to a different doctor so he didn't depend on him anymore. Let's wait until rods are removed and people can tell the truth. For the moment I wouldn't trust Fibone and Monegal

I heard before that mongeal woulf be willing to do precise. I wonder if it would be for the same price though.
