Quote from: myloginacct on November 23, 2017, 03:12:01 PMItaly has a high number of scientific Nobel laureates per capita, so I think that's an unfair judgement. It's a developed EU country which gifted us many great minds.
With that said, can you tell me where I could find Paley's opinion on ATL? That sounds like a great read.
See dude, at the end it is your decision - if you trust Pili and Catagni so much go with them. does not matter if Italy has high no. of nobel laureates per capita, so does Israel, poland etc. we are talking about a survey/study that is directly correlated to cosmetic limb lengthening, it is not a study from a high level research university, so don't compare apples with oranges. Also, it is impossible that the Italian doctors are right and all other are wrong, because only they are making tibia lengthening synonymous with tibia enthening + ATL. medial practitioners is US and UK earn so much that they do not have any incentive to fudge data to get business, they are rich without working hard, Italy (in my opinion) is a poor country (debatable I know but I think it is a poor country, and a second world country if not third world. dont get confused by GDP per capita, Czech Republic has a high GDP per cpaita but go there and see what real situation is - even China and India have better living standards. Russia has higher gdp pr capita than China an dmuch higher than India but in truth you will see living standards are higher in China and India. Doctors in India earn many times more than in Russia, not even close) and medical profession does not pay as much, there is huge incentive to lie/fudge and the work and educational standards in many of these european countries are pathetic to say the least. All the Indians who earn their medical degrees from top institutes in Russia an Italy etc. fail to clear the basic practitioners' test in India, so there goes the standard of education in european countries, very low. And my personal opinion on the moral and educational standards in (current day) italy is not very high. You can contact Paley directly from his paley institute website.
As I said - at the end it is your decision, your legs, hear all opinions but go by your gut feeling, you will be much happier. I do not want to confuse you. If you believe Catagni is the right choice for you go for it. I personally have decided that Pili or Ctagani are not those that I would trust to get my LL with. All the best.
