Calm down mate..We are all just expressing our opinions here.
About future prices: I wouldn't like a doctor speculating about anything when they don't have evidence. We can speculate freely here but doctors ought to be more careful when they speak. I prefer to hear " I don't know" when they don't; It's not for them to be worried about future prices from now anyway. This is mainly our problem.
About "any words for prospective patients": He took the time to answer to all questions in detail, patiently and with evidence, I didn't mind that he didn't make a statement in the end, other the "happy holiday season to all".
He was "so calm" because probably the tragic incident was a random or unavoidable event. He did say somewhere ".. the independent scrutiny didn't show any fault and this was a small relief for us" (or something like that, anyway). I don't know if in your country you believe that all complications are doctor's fault but I don't. Bear in mind that doctors are far more familiar than us with complications and deaths and Giotikas has worked in big trauma centres in the UK and even in war zones as a military surgeon so he has probably seen a lot! I am sure that he must have been devastated with what has happened but he has to carry on, doesn't he?
Needless to say I respect you beliefs.
I am here yo express my belief as well and not forcing anyone to do or not do anything but , I don't agree with your statment.
If CLL had such an unpredictable outcome like some doctors try to make us think ,then it would have been illegal in most countries , like the eye surgery thing .
It's not a Russian roulette !
I understand that something bad can happen and ppl died for way less invasive cosmetic surgeries ,but the guys in greece said that the guy complained several times and no one cared .
Also I did say that the interview was fine if he didn't have a death and all he said was that " an independent scrutiny " said that they protocol were acceptable .
For the money ppl spend on this , an acceptable protocol is not enough.
And hided behind the paper signed 2 months prior ..like...we know we sign for it but do you believe he did all he could to save him ?
This is the question I am making ,not that bad stuff can't happen , but that I am not sure he ( and his staff)did all they could to save him .(as some patients also stated by confirming the guy complained and no one cared) .
Those are the words of ppl with no interest in either side so him having "apparent " integrity on an interview doesn't say anything to me .
Again , I would never chose him ;would rather quit on the surgery then choose him,Guichet,betz and co. (Let alone some others that brave the ones who pick them ) .
