I just joined the group and have been reading this thread. As someone who is just walking in to the board here is what I see.
A doctor that is in another country, who is very good, has a coordinator who dips into the
pool of patients( that generally have self image issues to start with).
Okay to start with, I think that the post needs to be out there as a warning to what can happen when you are dealing with foreign doctors office. They are not subject to American laws of ethics or rules. More than likely, said coordinator won't be removed for the same reason. No ethics laws.
I have been taken advantage of when I was younger, by a man that knew what buttons to push. Im not saying I wasn't aware of it but since we were all force fed the Cinderella stories our whole lives, I wanted to believe it so much.
What really doesn't sit well with me is the catty, lack of empathy toward those who it happened to. I blame it on the anonymity of the internet. If we were sitting in real life, in a circle discussion about this it wouldn't have so many mean comments and tones on the topic. We should be a lot nicer to each other since we have all been in the same boat.
Take this thread as a cautionary tale of what can happen if you choose to have surgery out of the country.
