Let's open this thread by two famous marketing hawks from India, Dr. Amar Sarin and PT Harry(this guy is PT but wants to earn money on backs of surgeons like Dr. Pradeep Sharma and others unethical doctors), lets not forget all their scandals with Apotheosis.
I am seeing increasing number of fake dairies, and fake account comment on dairies of patients of these two, to promote their dairies, its ugly to say the least and it looks quite apparent that its fake I wonder why they even bother. Seems Turkish are learning the same tricks.
While I did my research for LL doctors I came across all sort of people who are professional to down right criminals, these doctors charge you 10 times or even more to what they charge regular patients from their country, and its not ok, we at this end feel its still cheap but promoting such doctors encourages them to play out their dirty tricks and fool people to make even more money, so never go to such doctors.
Always talk to doctors directly not with hospitals that want to make money out of your misery, and never make deal with arrangers or middle men or any PT that wants to act as arranger all these are alarming red flags, never encourage such activities.
Once you spoke with doctor check what are the real prices of this procedure in that country for regular(non-cosmetic and cosmetic patients) if price offered to you is high ask the doctor why, and don't fall for their eluding stories if they make. Don't fall for packages with accommodation either.
Research the doctor cross check whichever way you can, and also cross check if they have any legal proceeding ongoing or even in past this could be an indicator that they had ruined some patients life like few doctors in Russia.
If you by mistake fell for any of these hawks, be patient and inquire your legal options most countries does offer free legal assistance with a prosecutor make use of it, have good reliable doctor as your consultant so your fake doctor won't delude you further away, always check and verify past patients who had LL 1 or 2 years past or even more, check their journey and their current conditions, don't fall if they show recent patients, if the country you chose is not your own then get in contact with your consulate or embassy in that country, you be surprised with the amount of help you get from them.
This might look as I am generalizing all these countries but I am not, do go there but don't go to someone that's there just for easy money(more than what he earns if he is honest) and at the end this will make you have a bad opinion of that country and on that case it be on you, there is not excuse not to research extensively at first before falling prey for one of these unethical hawks.
I wish moderators pin this post or to the least create one as this so to help avoid these marketing hawks.
