Quote from: crimsontide on August 04, 2014, 02:00:55 PMin an older post, mentioned something about issues with the dr in russia... i said i didn't want to post about it, and received pms about it.. i still didn't say anything
well, i will say now
one of the big reasons for me wanting to go to another surgeon is because while i was at the clinic, after surgery, the other patients would talk, tell you about stories
became aware of 3 other cll cases with bagirov,
1- a woman that lengthened maybe 7 cm.... she had her frames taken off, then either fractured her legs or developed x legs... she had to come back to clinic, and could not walk... this was approximately 2 years after surgery... i never met this woman, but a few females there had, and even had photos... i think she has a diary, but on a russian site
2- a russian man that developed bad ballerina, and to my knowledge still has frames on 11 months later after lengthening 4 or 4.5 cm... i have spoken to this individual,and so has wannabe
3- this one is the worst and is the incident i had alluded to i an earlier post.... dr fahri, who is dr bagirovs assistant showed me in his laptop a man that had surgery and lengthened quite a bit.... his legs looked extremely bad... the worst x legs you can imagine..... dr fahri told me he had done this in baku, and laughed, said that bagirov didn't even know he had performed this surgery... but to him, the situation was comical...
i did not want to state the last thing publicly, as dr fahri explicitly told me bagirov had no idea he had done it... but it's relevant, because dr fahri is the one that basically supervises everything after the surgery
The 2 first stories i am aware about, the girl who fractured her leg (her leg got bent actually, so she had to redo the process), the reason that happened was because she started doing sports/activities before she was allowed too. You are supposed to use crutches for a while after frame removal and then for at least 6 months not do any sports. So since she didnt follow the doctors advice she still has issues 2 years after surgery. At least im pretty sure this is the same girl as you where talking about.
The russian man, i know him and have talked a lot with him, and i already mentioned that he blames himself for his problems now, he admits to not following instructions, lengthening to fast and not slowing down when he got a severe infection, also overexerted himself to early, and developed ballerina in one leg. He also had like 6 mm discrepancy between his legs when he was done with the lengthening phase and had to fix that, and a few months afterwards decided to add 5 mm more to both legs. This coupled with slower than average consolidation is the reason why it took him so long, but he doesnt blame Bagirov.
The last thing you mention i have never heard about, who did the surgery in Baku? i have a hard time imagining Fachri would just show you a failed case of a patient if he himself was the surgeon and he was at fault for the failure. He is a doctor so it doesnt sound believable he would laugh if he caused the patients those problems. I know Fachri and have talked a lot with him. More likely that patient didnt follow instructions and most likely lengthened to much or turned those other screws that are used for correction more than he should have.
Btw i got a PM (will keep the user private) that told me Bagirovs clinic does not allow patients to lengthen at home anymore because some patients dont "follow their instructions" and hurt themselves. This poster was going to do the surgery with Bagirov but might not be able to now because he cant afford to be away for 3 months to lengthen.
Im almost 100% sure this decision of the clinic has a lot to do with your case of lengthening and how you completely neglected their recommendations.
