Quote from: Goodnews on October 21, 2013, 07:34:13 PMSomething that keeps coming to my mind, is that all the so called experts on the other place, are people who have had complications, are not back to normal and they're dishing out all the advice. They act like they know everything, but they're only experienced at LL without healing properly.They may be so desperate to get better, that this how they became so comprised. If they cannot afford more treatment after they're left in a mess, they may be offered free or discounted treatment in exchange for pushing people to the particular Doctors. I cannot imagine how many people they could have hurt by lying and misleading about the non-existent positive outcomes. It would be great to hear from some people who have had successful outcomes,
I noticed that as well, and it's another reason why I get annoyed whenever the admin of that other site says it's his "job" to promote leg lengthening and make it more available to everyone - because we really need more people to rush into the surgery without knowing all the risks and end up crippled, right? The fact is, most orthopedic surgeons do not have the required training/aren't competent enough to perform this operation and see through the patient's aftercare effectively. Limb lengthening is an operation that is very invasive to the body and demands expertise that most orthopedic surgeons just do not have - we have a perfect example of this with mmn_native's leg lengthening disaster in Iran. For the admin of the other site to have lengthened 8 inches in total and then push to have the surgery become more widespread, that just tells me what a sick individual that guy is, and I'll tell you (and anyone else who is reading this) why I believe so.
To have lengthened that much on each segment, there is absolutely no way that his bones and soft tissues (blood vessels, nerves, tendons, ligaments, etc) will recover to where they were prior. If he had actually lengthened 8 inches like he claims, he'd no doubt be walking with a cane, crutches, or other form of support. He knows he's living with consequences and won't admit that he shouldn't have lengthened that much. But instead of realizing that he's made a mistake in his lengthening process what does he do? He goes to unknown doctors not adequately trained in Ilizarov surgeries to make a profit off what they earn, using those desperate to get taller as his guinea pigs.
Of course, this is all provided on whether the admin of the other site actually lengthened from 5'6 to 6'2. I really have my doubts now. I believe he went through the lengthening process but I'm speculative of whether he really lengthened as much as he claimed. Who's to say he didn't take the x-rays of another Betz patient and put them on the site as his own? Every scam artist takes advantage of other peoples' anxiety, and in this case Sysop is taking advantage of the feelings of inferiority and anxiety that other short men face. The admin of the other site, Sysop, has definitely made a lot of money off of this, and his goal in promoting lengthening is only to make more of that money. This is particularly dangerous to those naive about this procedure and/or very desperate to get taller. Limb lengthening is something that, in my opinion, should not be "promoted" to make more readily available. There will be a hell of a lot of people naive to the possible consequences that can (and will) arise from surgery done incorrectly, too much or too fast lengthening, improper physiotherapy, etc. Safety should be top priority, not affordability/accessibility.
This is all imo.
