Lets look at Mimes contibution to the forum:
first post:
Hello everybody. I'm new to this forum and quite happy there is no censorship like on old forum .
...
...
The % of complications with Betz for Femur patients is currently around 30%. For Tibia it is even much worse. Dr. Betz is constantly lying to hs patients and actually gets very unfriendly if you ask too many questions. He is well protected by the rotten German law system, which is massively in favor of doctors.
Stay away from Dr.Betz, no matter which nail he uses.
He says that betz get unfriendly when you ask too many questions? I have read like 10 patient diary on old forum where they actually write that Betz is so comfortable and convincing in the consultation. How he takes alot of time off even a complete day just to answer their question fully. Some people even say he has such a desire for LL and it toally blew them away how he loved his work.
this is a entire thread started by him.. after few accusations someone actually questions him about evidence only for him to reply:
Hi,
Sorry but i cannot disclose my source in an open forum.
then in a different betz thread
Hi Sadboy,
Going with Betz is like taking a gamble. You might be lucky but there might happen some bad things.
and he keeps it up by brainwashing the other guy in the thread by absolute shamble of an serious accusation:
Hi Sadboy,
Yes, when reading the old forum one can easily get this impression. Unfortunately it is a scam. Betz is quite unsafe (30-40% of his patients do get serious complications). And he isn't cheap either. So actually there is no rational reason to go to Betz.
4/10 get serious complication! One of the leading LL doc, who saved alot of people from height discrimination is now a scam.
but he wont stop there.
in a completely different thread. this suddenly pops up all out of sudden:
Hello Chris,
stay away from Fitbone. Even Betz, one of its inventors and a gambler and crook, doesn't use it anymore. There were many many issues with it. Maybe he sold his old stock to the Turkish doctor.
(edit: in the post above, he is talking to chrisIsaak. Who is today, right now, undergoing LL with fitbone in turkey without complication. Chris fortunately ignored Mimes warning and is now having a successful LL and a diary on LL Forum which you can read HERE)and
To put it bluntly: Dr.Betz is a criminal. He systematically lies to his patients, exposes them to risks and dangers like probably no other doctor except maybe the Nazi doctors in the concentration camps
...
This is a serious warning:Do not believe anything Dr.Betz tells you.
Dr. betz worse than Nazi doctors? is this the standard of posting LL Forum is content with?
Hi Kusop,
Betz is a crappy surgeon for LL. His specialty is Traumatology and he never really studied the details of LL, instead he is using his patients as guinea pigs. His Tibia patients e.g. all end up messed up. On top of that he has no ethics and is lying to his patients.
look, there are 20 more of these posts. I am not gonna quote every single one.
This person goes around, no matter what the topic of discussion is, he somehow manages to connect the topic to Betz and then starts raving about how Betz is a scam and 40% of his patients ends up with serious complication.
It is quite obvious this person has an agenda and its unhealthy. Not only for him but for the forum. In a different thread where he polluted, a betz patient actually had second thoughts after reading his misinformation. But fortunately he found out later that it was all lies.
Now LL Forum members, how is this kind of action accepted? I know I came off very bad when I used swearwords but my point still stands.
Read my posting history. I, myself, am very skeptical to betz due to his nail bending and cost of titanium. I am not going to do LL with Betz. But I am not going to stand and watch someone defame and spread calculated misinformation about a reputable doctor who saved alot of short people. If he has evidence fine, go on. But everytime someone asks for it, he dodges.
