[Exclusive] Can you trust the advertising for “key surgery”? Allegations of impersonating an “authoritative figure”
Junior doctor falsely lists profile on website, blog, and cafe... Immediately corrects after being reported
[Sunday Newspaper] Recently, height-increasing surgery has become as popular as plastic surgery. The number of people undergoing this surgery for cosmetic purposes due to concerns about their height is gradually increasing. As a result, many doctors are entering the field of height surgery. Above all, it is because it is a profitable surgery. However, height-increasing surgery can cause serious side effects such as leg paralysis if performed improperly. Therefore, the surgeon's expertise is crucial for this procedure. Recently, a practicing surgeon was caught impersonating a senior surgeon (specialist) who is an authority in “height-increasing surgery,” using the senior surgeon's credentials and case history. The practicing surgeon was accused of receiving patients by impersonating the senior surgeon's profile and was eventually reported to the authorities. We exclusively reveal the details of the case.

Professor L is a renowned specialist in the field of leg lengthening and deformity correction (commonly known as height-increasing surgery) who works at a leading A university hospital in Korea. However, Professor L filed a complaint with the prosecution in April, accusing Dr. J, a practicing orthopedic surgeon, of violating the Medical Act. 

The defendant, Dr. J, operates an orthopedic joint clinic in the Gyeonggi-do region.

The incident dates back to 2014. J visited L after more than three years. The two had a connection. When L was an associate professor of orthopedic surgery at B General Hospital, J had completed his residency and fellowship in orthopedic surgery at the same hospital. They were former colleagues who had worked at the same hospital. 

Dr. J visited his senior, Professor L, because he wanted to observe Professor L's height-increasing surgery before opening his own orthopedic hospital a month later. Professor L readily accepted the request. Dr. J reportedly visited the operating room several times to observe Professor L's surgeries.

However, early this year, Professor L heard an unusual story from a acquaintance. Dr. J was allegedly using Professor L's credentials on his hospital website, Naver blog, and cafe, and promoting Professor L's achievements as if they were his own.

When Professor L checked the hospital's website himself, he found that Director J was listed as having served as a member of the Arthroscopy Research Society at A University Hospital, a training instructor at the Arthroscopy Center at A University Hospital, the director of the Lower Limb Lengthening and Deformity Correction Center at A University Hospital, a full-time physician and outpatient professor at the Lower Limb Lengthening and Deformity Correction Center at B General Hospital, and a regular member of the Korean Society of Lower Limb Lengthening and Deformity Correction.

However, this is not true. In particular, Director J has never worked at A University Hospital for even a single day. Additionally, upon verification, his name was not listed in the membership rosters of the Arthroscopy Research Society at A University Hospital or the Korean Society of Lower Extremity Lengthening and Deformity Correction. Therefore, Director J either exaggerated his own credentials or appropriated Professor L's credentials for his own use.

The bigger problem is that this was not the first time Dr. J had misappropriated someone else's credentials. Shortly after opening his hospital, there was an issue with a photo used in an advertisement. Dr. J had removed Professor L's face from a photo taken with his mentor during his training at a hospital in the United States and replaced it with his own face. At the time, Professor L discovered this fact belatedly and protested to Dr. J, who apologized and deleted the photo.

Additionally, Dr. J is said to have posted statements such as, “I have gained extensive experience in knee surgeries and lower limb deformity correction surgeries over the past five years at B General Hospital,” “All the teams and equipment from B General Hospital have been transferred here (to my hospital) and are being used here,” and “There has been not a single case of non-union among the hundreds of lower limb lengthening surgery patients treated at B General Hospital” on his hospital blog and online forums.

However, Dr. J had never performed limb lengthening or deformity correction surgeries at B General Hospital, and at the time, Professor L was the only doctor at the hospital who performed such surgeries. Therefore, Dr. J described Professor L's surgical cases as if he had performed them “directly” through his posts. This amounts to false and exaggerated medical advertising using expressions that could easily mislead the general public.

In response, Professor L's side stated, “The purpose of the Medical Act, which prohibits medical professionals from making false or exaggerated advertisements, is because medical advertisements take advantage of the desperate and earnest psychological state of patients and their families, clouding their judgment in choosing medical institutions or treatment methods, and this has a significant potential to affect the health protection of the public and the medical system.” “In the case of Dr. J, he violated the intent of the Medical Act, abandoning medical ethics and conscience, and actively misled numerous patients considering leg lengthening and deformity correction through false or exaggerated medical advertisements.”

Dr. J reportedly revised the problematic sections posted on the hospital's website, Naver blog, and cafe after controversies arose regarding his false credentials.

Nevertheless, Professor L's side pointed out, “If Dr. J believed there was no issue with his profile, he would not have revised his credentials even after the controversy arose. This implies that Dr. J himself was aware that his initial profile contained false or exaggerated information. Taking measures now does not absolve him of the illegal act of misleading patients with false credentials over the past few years.”

Regarding Professor L's complaint, the prosecution recently acknowledged Director J's charges and imposed a fine of 2 million won. Professor L's lawyer explained, “In conclusion, the prosecution also issued an indictment opinion. We are now waiting for Director J's decision on whether to accept the prosecution's fine or appeal for a formal trial.”

According to a health center official, if Director J accepts the criminal penalty of a fine for false advertising, he could typically face an administrative penalty of a two-month suspension of business operations.

Professor L expressed concern that such issues might spread across the entire field of height-increasing surgery. He stated, "So-called height surgery can easily lead to various complications or aftereffects, such as nonunion of bones, nerve paralysis, joint stiffness, or bone deformation, if the surgery is performed incorrectly. Therefore, the doctor's expertise and skill are extremely important.“ He added, ”However, as the plastic surgery field has become saturated and the number of patients undergoing height surgery for cosmetic purposes has increased, many doctors are entering this field for financial gain. The problem is that few of these doctors possess the necessary expertise in height surgery. I am concerned that more doctors like J, who mislead patients by falsely or exaggeratedly presenting their credentials, may emerge."

Meanwhile, Dr. J’s side responded to the allegations by saying, “We are discussing the matter with our lawyer. We have nothing further to say at this time.”

Sorry for the late reply.
I haven't been able to log in to this forum for a long time.
My bones are now perfectly healed, as you can see in the picture, but my friends and many other Japanese people who underwent the same surgery at the same hospital have developed osteomyelitis.

Reasons for frequent complications
While I was hospitalized, I learned from my aunts that there were no patients before the discount event. So, the director carefully made rounds to each patient every day, and they all received 30 minutes to an hour of manual therapy, physical therapy, and oriental medicine treatment. However, with the event, the hospital was overflowing with patients, so the director performed 3-4 surgeries a day, seven days a week, excluding weekends. (If there are too many surgeries, he even comes in on his days off to perform them.) Sometimes, he would start a surgery at 9 AM and continue past 10 AM. After that, there were simply too many patients (by the way, when I was there, all appointments were fully booked until May). At some point, rounds were reduced to once a week for a short time, physical therapy was cut to 20 minutes, and if there was a second surgery, patients couldn't receive physical therapy or traditional Korean medicine treatment. The director was performing 4-5 surgeries a day, and if there was an emergency patient, they would squeeze it in between surgeries and perform it urgently. (X-rays, which were taken once a week, were often not taken at all.) (While performing surgery, if the patient in the operating room takes longer than expected, the next patient's surgery time approaches, so the first patient sometimes comes out in the middle. This is all because there are too many patients.)

So they try to discharge all existing patients (the chaos in the ward is because of this). Even if the doctor is skilled, wouldn’t their concentration decline if they perform surgeries like that every day for months? (After the surgery, the director looked extremely tired and drained.) I also discussed with the patients that if they keep performing surgeries like that, it will eventually lead to a breakdown. Sure enough, there have been numerous side effects recently. X-rays should be taken whenever necessary, but whenever we try to do so, there are too many patients, and we have to wait in a long queue. (It’s heartbreaking to see a few close friends suffering from neuralgia.) It feels like they’re rushing through surgeries. Of course, I understand that they have to handle the backlog of scheduled patients, but even after the first surgery and extension, waiting over three weeks or a month for the second surgery because of the backlog is unreasonable. It’s truly unfortunate. Even when I was in pain, it was like trying to catch a star to talk to the director. If they keep cutting prices and rushing through surgeries like this, I’m sure there will be more patients with side effects (in fact, there are many patients with side effects that you don’t know about). This needs to change now. Even if it costs more money, I think they should take care of patients thoroughly, take X-rays frequently, and restore the number of rehabilitation sessions and hours. I don’t think this kind of surgery, which is done like double eyelid surgery, is appropriate.

And once the patient undergoes surgery, they become the underdog. Do you know why? Because of the anxiety that if they upset the director, they might have to undergo a second surgery, they can’t even complain even if they’re in pain and not being seen. It was such a difficult surgery. Do you think it’s good that your prices are so low? Patients are overwhelmed, and hospitals churn them out like machines, with no proper care, and the surgeon doesn’t even know the patient’s name. That’s why the risk of complications skyrockets. Of course, I’m not saying expensive is better… Just think carefully and proceed with caution.

At least two Japanese and three Koreans have been victims of osteomyelitis caused by Yonsei Kim.
