Quote from: Chris on September 04, 2016, 09:59:24 AMLegally cheating my health insurance company is something I would never do  How to get the surgery done the absolute cheapest way, and the most safe.
I'm a poor university student and even I told my 1st-world orthopedist right away that I require his services for cosmetic reasons and that I will pay everything before and after the surgery in India myself. (Finally found someone who is willing to take x-rays of my legs and measure my bones on Monday btw. Yay!)

I'm not saying that you shouldn't walk the grey area, because it seems to be legal, but other people will have to pay your treatment for something that was purely cosmetic through their fees/charges.
I think this is morally questionable.


Just about to reopen this thread, because I wanted to response to that statement...

I would have absolutely no objection to cheat my insurance to get post-operative care. Why? Bcause they absolutely failed at doing their job when I was younger. In Austria, and as a kid, after my parents, the Austrian social system pledges to be responsible for your well-being and development, the school doctors examine you, the teachers look after you, etc. And to put it in German, "die haben eine ruhige Kugel geschoben!" The doctors never gave a fk that I was skinny and perhaps ate too little, the teachers never gave a fk that I was stressed and had a hard time with my peers, all aspects that could affect my growth. No doctor ever wrote down my growth curve, etc.! They were all just lazy people happy to get their monthly public salaries and sit down on their fat asses. So I would absolutely not have moral objections to public insurance coming up for my LL care!

We have constant checkups in Poland(like one every 2-3 years) so idk.

But you are not alone doe, my doctors didn't do anything with my constant dropping in height percentiles as long as i wasn't under 3rd(and my whole childhood i was 70-80 percentile).
I got under 3rd percentile after i hit 18yo but well... for most stuff it was already too late.

This is a dangerous game . Don't forget all the bad outcomes . If you go to a " cheap " guy will he be able to deal with them . Don't play with your life and take a good one . I know the money part is tough but would take a chance on your health I don't think so . Do the surgery in 10 years if you can by this time all the process will get easier . And be smart on the amount you will do .
All my best .  How to get the surgery done the absolute cheapest way, and the most safe.

If one was to go to a doctor in India, and do 5 CM femurs how long would the recovery take? For some reason people here seem to bash Indian doctors a lot, surely there has to be some that are reputable? Indian doctors are known as some of the best in the world, I'm curious on to why people don't trust them that much here.

I think you'll have to know a orthopedic pretty well to trust him with your case.
