Look you don't know who I am. You defend Monegal blindly but you don't know who I am. I can give my surgery date to moderators in private and my xrays to prove I was a patient but I won't publish here because this doctor isn't honest and uses personal information for the bad.
Whoever Auron is, it seems to be a Dr Monegal personality, him. What NOTATROLL says is very accurate in my experience if not worse. I am in the medical biz so feel somewhat able to describe this physician. He is a sociopath in my estimation. Yes. If you read the rest of the comments here you will understand. If you look up the personality of a sociopath he meets all the criteria. He does not a care one iota about you. He cares about him. He is a divorcee with 2 children and has a 21 yr old or near that nurse girl friend. He cares about the initial surgery because he likes the money. After that good freekin luck. I almost died indirectly from him. He promised me narcotic pain medication before I came over as most studies indicate as appropriate for this surgery but gave me
Acetaminophen 1000mg and Nolotil only available in Spain and Portugal for
broken femurs! Both of these meds are ineffective for this type of pain but he could give a hoot. It got so bad a day out of the hospital I had to go to the local ER for pain control. I was in a wheel chair and getting to the hospital was an incredible journey. He would not give me anything! so I hopped a plane and developed a life threatening clot on the long flight home. He lied to me that he would give me pain medication.
Before I came over he told me in an email (which I have) he would give me narcotic pain meds. He never did and could only get some back home which I had to take for around 9 months.
Another of his promises, "I will remove the IM nails at no charge, just the hospital expenses". He would not. He did not. I called him for 12 days to arrange the removal but he would not answer my phone messages or emails. He could give a rats rear end. After I complained to the hospital who must know him well (Diagonal) he miraculously responded to me but he was pissed. He answered me some after that but I decided to pay for a physician here at home and cut my losses with a real human being surgeon. I could not take his lies and promises. He came to my room one day and spent 15 minutes telling me he was in the top 3 in the world for LL. I was very uncomfortable listening to this guy. Illusions of grandeur?
If you think you are
getting a deal from this guy, you might get what you pay for or less. I found him to be one of the most despicable persons in the medical business in my lifetime. I work in hospitalsin the U.S. and consult with physicians. (I have a doctorate if interested). In the U.S. we might call him a used car salesman.
I do not recommend him. If you go to him, on you.
p.s. his so called physical therapists are a real waste of money. I went to PT here in the U.S.
One more thing, I expect to be attacked for my comments. He does not like criticism. The long story of Spanish man who had the surgery a year or two ago and wrote extensively of his experience is greatly (by Monegal?) exaggerated or untrue. After surgery "you don't take a pain med, ie, Acetaminophen an go to sleep". All LL includes sever pain that is addressed by narcotic pain medications, not Acetam 1000mg or the questionable Nolotil whatever that is.
