Info on the LL "industry" and why you should reconsider some of the surgeons

Edit Post

Quote from: CCMidwest on May 08, 2016, 06:52:54 PMAlmost all the surgeons have stuff like that on their websites. You should see the spam email I now get from Dr. Mahboubian after I contacted him. Me thinks someone took a marketing class or two, lol. Definitely plays on height insecurities.

Anyway, my last post here. After speaking with TIBike200 frequently outside of this forum (we are the same height), I've realized that my height is not really that bad. I'm 5'7 or close to 5'8, and that is good enough.

I've got a hot wife, cute kids, 2 thriving businesses, over a million in the bank (well, on the balance sheet anyway), I'm respected in my community, I've never lacked female attention, black on black SL400 in the driveway, etc...

So some 6' guys and some women might think I am short? Since when do I give a rat's a** what anyone thinks, especially a woman? I'm richer than most those 6' guys, and there are plenty of women who don't care about my height. (I know, I've banged plenty of them)

I have the will and the means to change my life anytime I want.

It's going to take some time to put height neurosis behind me, no doubt. But I just saved myself $100,000 on LL, so I'll just keep going to my shrink, lol. (besides, give me the $200,000 that Iamready spent with Paley and 15 years, I'll turn it into $2 million)

I wanted to thank TIBike200, DIFM, and Alu for being voices of reason. Good luck guys.

Now i'm gonna block this forum on all my devices, and work on purging thoughts of height from my head.

great choice and you have my full support.  you seem like you have a great life already and so much more to lose than to gain from LL.

Congrats on your resolve. I wish you well in the future. You and Deads are of great inspiration to even me.

All LL surgeons have legal problems. This is a shady practice for con artists and people with no morals.

I want to add something. Paley's team operated wrong limb recently and he didn't assume his responsability.

QuoteThe first complaint alleges that on Sept. 13, 2012, a 9-year-old boy, identified only by the initials R.S., came to St. Mary's to have a metal plate inserted in his right ankle to stabilize it. Paley is accused of failing to ensure the device was put in the proper leg.

Paley challenged the allegation in documents filed with the state. He said he instructed his surgical fellow beforehand to place the plate in the boy's right ankle.

The second complaint involves a 5-year-old boy, referred to by the initials F.W., who on Jan. 21, 2013, arrived at St. Mary's to have a rod removed and a plate inserted in his left knee.

At the time, Paley was supervising a surgical team that "routinely performed simultaneous surgical procedures on separate patients in multiple surgical suites," the complaint says.

The state claims Paley successfully took out the rod then handed the boy off to physician assistant to prep the child for the insertion of a device, about the size of a paper clip and shaped like an 8, commonly used to treat an abnormality.

Paley meanwhile "rotated to a different operating suite" to tend to another patient, the complaint states.

The physician assistant prepped the inner side of the boy's left knee instead of the top part, the state said.

The assistant then passed the boy off to a surgical fellow "who had just rotated in from a third, unrelated surgical procedure, in a third simultaneously operating surgical suite," according to the Health Department complaint.

The surgical fellow inserted the so-called "8-plate" on the wrong side of the boy's left knee.

State regulators assert that Paley "is responsible and legally liable" for the care given to the boy.

In a written response filed with the Health Department, Paley said only one other procedure — not several — was taking place at the time of the surgery and that he was in the room when a physician assistant removed the rod from the boy's leg.

Paley acknowledged that the physician assistant inserted guide wires for the 8-plate on the wrong side of the boy's left knee, but said the whole leg had been prepped earlier and he had instructed the surgical fellow to insert the device on the top or "lateral" side of the knee.

Paley denied he was legally responsible for the actions of the physician assistant and said "he did not perform, attempt to perform, or prepare the patient for a wrong-site procedure."

An administrative judge will hear Dr. Paley's defense and issue a ruling. The Board of Medicine makes the final decision. It could impose penalties ranging from a reprimand to revocation of his license to practice medicine.

We all know about Monegal's shady practices through LLuser1. Monegal lied to everybody and fked up some patients because he is nexperienced. He's lucky because Musicmaker lied to everybody about her condition (her case would have been the beginning and the end of his career) and doesn't want to sue him. Patients like Cooper are preparing lawsuits though because he was screwed by Monegal. His name should be added to the list.

A thread should be created so that people can share information about LL lawsuits for people screwed by these doctors. Prospective patients should read too and be conscious of what they are getting into.

It's funny, this guy (Pricess) keeps saying that he was martyred by Catagni but never gave details. Already it does not respond any private message he posted just when TBIKE had to have surgery (he resigned). After that he has been away a long time (sacred chance). If he wants us to believe, we will have more details. I can believe but not like that
To this day I do not think any person has been disabled for life on the forum on LL forum, it would be a first. Even more amazing is that it comes from a doctor who usually has good results

And then I imagine an absence, no response then any future recurrence of a topic to post a message in which he repeated that he is handicapped without giving details. Someone who would really handicapped take more time to try to get us out of our head diabolical plan (I hope). I am not saying that this is a fake profile, but if it is one that is very sad.

Great to hear! You and Deads were the two people I convinced to not do this surgery. It's not worth it, and I hope others will realize it, too.

Why is it not worth it? I am 5ft5, I want to be 5ft8 and have the money, time and mental strength to go through this. The idea of being 2/3 inches taller seems amazing and something that I wouldn't have even dreamt of.

Why did you find it not worth it?
