[indication]

One patient broke his femur bone after nail removal due to the doctor's fault and allegedly did not attend to the patient properly when the complication happened.

If this had happened in India or Turkey there would have been discussions all over the forum about this. But because it's a US surgeon trained with Paley does that make it a non-issue? He is back promoting his practice on social media like nothing happened. Does this not alert you? If not this what else will alert you?

Yes.  He's a licensed U.S. doctor which means he's held to the highest standards in the world.  If he was negligent the patient will get a lot of money and he might even lose his license, and better-qualified people than us are going to look at more facts than we have in order to make that decision.

In other countries this forum matters more.

In the same vein as the poster above, the standards of practicing medicine are not equal across borders. That's why a doctor in country A might not be able to practice in country B without obtaining the requisite licenses to practice. Countries that have lower barriers to entry to practice medicine and poorer sanitation standards for their facilities, and generally higher rates of complications should be approached with the appropriate level of caution.

Given that I don't know the details of this particular complication, it wouldn't make sense to discredit any Dr. because of a single complication. Surgery comes with complications, and if every surgeon was dinged for every mishap, we wouldn't have any trust worthy surgeons. The best way to get 0 complications is to not practice at all! However, if there's evidence for a pattern of negligence, then you may have a point.

To add on to that, based solely on the Xrays, other highly regarded doctors mentioned that they would have made the same call (i.e. to remove the nails). I do sympathize with the patient for his experience though. Without knowing too much, I am angry at the way he was treated. At the same time, we don't know Dr. D's side of the story either (he could have been dealing with a patient who was doing even worse as hard as it is to imagine, or he may have been in surgery at the time). Until we have all the details, it's best not to jump to any conclusions.

Personally, I would be more cautious when dealing with Dr. D after this incident until the full details are revealed, but I think it's in poor taste to try and discredit him at this stage.

I honestly won't trust him , not only for the complication but fir the treatment the guy had afterwards .
A doctor who lies by an unfair amount about how many CLLs he has done so far ;in Paleys interview he gets basically called out, and during dr.Lee interview with cyborg4life , Lee mentions that Victor has to be carefull to who he brings in the channel because future patients might be mislead .
Prior to him there have been just Dr.M and dr.D and when asked about good surgeons he mentioned Paley and Rozbruch in US but not Dr.D or Dr.M .
Does this mean they are uncapable of getting CLLs ?
No ,but it means that 2 world renowned surgeons among the top 3 worldwide do not respect them and that is a big concern in my eyes .
I really don't understand why some people need to see someone crippled to have the proof that there are better choices out there .
Still to this day I read about people who ask about guichet who had the worst cases ever besides some 9th world country stories (maybe not even worst then them) .
Does anyone cares about their legs in here or they willing to be the joke of their family because of their uncontrolled neurosis ?
We are not talking about a 40k doctor compared to Paley which I would understand where the point is ..but about a 75k+Doctor .
Does 15k more worth all the experience and risks to anyone in here ?
After all , who can effort dr.D can't really make the effort or wait few months more to go with Paley ?
I really don't care about downgrading anyone because as I said ,I don't believe he is a butcher but for that money I would never ever go or trust him , since at the early stage of his career he drastically lied several times and that is the worst feeling/vibe you can get from the doctor who has you future in his hands .
So for all the above , No I would not trust him !

You would be surprised about the complications than happen sometimes with renowned doctors and go unnoticed here.

[Masteryourlife]

I do not even doubt about that ,but  imagine with less transparent/skilled doctors then .
Also keep in mind that a world renowned doctor let's say has 50 CLL cases a year while a new one in the field has 15 CLL .
If a complication occurs in both , it is still not the same thing because 1 out of 50 and 1 out of 15 it's a big difference.

I don't know if CLL patients will go to court that easily. There are privacy concerns involved.

Like? There are some complications which are just luck based like infection. The surgeon can't do much to prevent them.

Okay I didn't know about this. If so, then Dr Debiparshad isn't at fault here. It was just luck then?

Medium Drink of Water could you delete this thread as we are not really certain about the facts here?

[Abbot]

Well, don't delete this.  There is good talk here.  I know patients of Dr Debi.  I think he knows what he is doing.  Good docs will screw up now and then.

In my opinion he is very expensive and driven by the bucks after speaking with him.  The patient is just another patient and from what I know his after care is poor.  Imagine too he wants $15k to remove the IM nails.  A person should ask about diet, PT, and pain recommendations.  From what I remember he says take brand X of Calcium and nothing else.  Protein is very, very important but he does refer to that. 

You also will have to pay a few thousand for hotel.  He is not cheap his responses to my questions were very cut and dried.  Just beware if you go to him.  Also, his office assistant was very poor at responding to me.  I don't care when you are spending $90k, you deserve better than what his services are.

The are are known risks of complications with every type of treatment. Not all of them are the doctor's responsibility but some are.
