Here is the step I actually lost balance on^ found it in my photos
Never actually fell or anything. Just put my body weight on other leg
Thank you for highlighting this.
Unfortunately it is not the first time I've heard of the shenanigans of this individual and group.
caveat emptor…
i think this thread is super important as it highlights numerous problems that are easily avoidable
Exactly, if you’re going to go overseas go with someone like parihar or giotikas etc
These doctors have proved themselves in numerous ways as putting patients first.
Buldu is a nice guy, but obviously he does not put the patient first if he is treating his practice like an assembly line.
Another point is just do internals. The infection would likely never have happened.
And this is not neccessarily a Buldu problem. They have this exact same issue with hair transplants. Turkey in its entirety uses pressure sale tactics to get foreigners to pay more, be it travel or medical tourists. I've been there 3 times, and I hated it more each time.
I'd probably just stay away from developing countries all together. They always drop the ball when things go wrong, because they know you have less institutional protection. If this happened in Germany or US, they'll be sued to hell, no matter how many consents you signed.

Limb lenghening has been considered a popular cosmetic surgery in Turkey has it? I saw lots of foreigners head there for LL.

You completely missed the point. The infection has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Pinsite infection will happen to anyone anywhere doing externals, but if you look at the post I screenshotted (2cnd photo first, then read 1st) you’ll see I was ignored. They read my message, didn’t reply. I texted 6 hours later again, same thing read and no reply
If you look at the photo you will see my right leg was so inflamed/swollen it was touching the fixator

I'm sorry for being such a dik but doing externals in a developing country was the main issue here. Buldu's agency was obviously unscrupulous, but you were partially responsible for all this misery because you wanted to save money. I just didn't feel any sense of self-responsibility in your writing, just that Buldu's agents were evil, and they are. However, your choices ultimately decide what happens to your body.
I had a loose screw with Betz after the initial surgery. The moment he saw it on the Xray, I was sent in the surgery room to fix it next morning. This probably had something to do with me having paid triple for internals in Germany compared to externals in Turkey.
Paley with externals only had 2% higher infection rate than he did with internals. They disinfect the wound much more frequently and professionally.
I really feel sorry for all of your misgivings, but this is just another reminder for everyone not to trust doctors with agents in developing countries. You probably would've saved 50% if everything went right. But if something went wrong, those savings will be last things you'll regret.
