Dr. Parihar- Warning Sign Of Bad Patient Outcomes

Edit Post

Quote from: prakash419 on November 11, 2017, 11:33:02 PMBu why is your recovery so slow? I mean with Guichet and Betz (except the bad experiences) in general the recovery is much faster. Any input?

*was slow
I can jog now if I want to for short distances. My legs don't feel like I've done LL at all anymore.

I don't know man, my bones consolidated slower. I think that has to do with every individual body and not the doctor.

Thanks for your valuable input. I agree. I think Parihar is a safe bet. I will start my journey in October 2018 and most probably it will be with Parihar. I want to do 3 inches in tibia, external. If i decide to stay in india until I am consolidated and walking then how much total aprox. you think I will spend (including all costs?). I am indian citizen but I studied and live and work in US, I have no family in Mumbai. Thanks for your help.

^He won't allow 3 inches of tibial lengthening. 6 cm max.

Thanks Kilo, I keep hearing that and that is a concern for me on going with Parihar, but did not Penguin do 3 inches? also if I insist would he agree? or is it a strict no more than 6 cm policy that he has?

I did 3 inches in my femurs, with internals. That's different from externals on tibias.

Even then, in one of our pre-LL meetings he had told me that if things didn't go smooth, he might make me stop around 6 to 6.5cms even with internals and I had to agree to that. Unlikely scenario which thankfully didn't happen. He's careful and I'm almost certain you won't be allowed 3" on tibias.

This whole thread is exactly what i'm talking about. If you have surgery with Dr. Parihar in a third world sh*t hole like India you are f*cking stupid!

Sure, use two patient experiences to represent how one doctor is bad. Thats logical. Most patients don't even know this site exists.

Not seeing any terrible outcomes. Like was posted, slower than usual consolidation is not the same as non-union, and if you think slower consolidation in a leg automatically makes a doctor bad, then not even Paley or Rozbruch would qualify as a good surgeon. Healing time is individual, what matters is how the surgeon responds to issues that arise.

Sure I could have not needed fasciotomy if Dr Parihar routinely did one on every CLL patient, but if you end up not needing a fasciotomy and get one done anyway, you just gave yourself more scars and less ankle stability for no reason.

CECS is really scary, though. Wouldn't it eventually lead to amputation if left untouched just a bit longer? Excuse my ignorance.
