Like I said, we can only speak for ourselves. Not everyone will have equal experience. But I feel that there is a little bit of an exaggeration in USApaitent's claims.
1. He said after his surgery with Sarin, he has to pay out an additional 60k to fix his complication. From my knowledge, in the US, you should be covered under your medical insurance for your disability. Same with Canada, Sweden, etc. And if he indeed has 60k to begin with... after his trip to India where he probably have spent another 14k...with all this money he already has, why would he take the chance with his legs to go with one of the cheapest doctor in the world when he could have gone to Korea or some other first world country for LL?
2. He said there was an Aussie patient who has his pin pulled out without proper anesthesia and he was crying in agony. Well, that is true because the Aussie patient was actually my 3rd roommate. And I was there present;y when all this happened. The whole ordeal took less than 10 seconds. He did made a quick yelp. But it was all over before he knew it so it didn't make sense to take him all the way to the hospital to put him on anesthesia for this. My roommate wanting to sound extra tough told everyone who is willing to hear about this. And plus, the last time I spoke with this Aussie patient about further lengthening, he was quite eager to go back to Sarin. So you go figure.
3. He made a total of 20 posts. Guess what the common theme that all his posts have in common. You go figure this one as well.
I guess you need to have a realistic expectation. When you choose to pay 10k for a surgery when other places easily charge 30k or more for the same surgery you have to understand that there things being compromised. The medical facility won't be as modern nor adequate as a first rated country. Plus the doctor is operating under a low margin per patient and perhaps require to spread himself out thinnly. So you need to figure out what you want to achieve and paying only this much what things you are willing to give up.
USApatient is a great guy and genuinely wants to warn other people. I feel a little bit compelled to make a post because of how my doc treated me and because I have a hard time falling asleep at this very moment. I don't know who USpatient is and don't want to know. Maybe he will be pissed off at me for going against him.
