How about those sweet US insurance companies who are always robbing us blind with high premiums, but never willing to cover a simple procedure that can save our lives. To me we are living in jail in our unethical health care system where the rich get richer and the sick get sicker. Now, if you want to criticize someone... as my grandmother would say -- "we should sweep around our own backdoors first" before we go sweeping around someone else's. |
When someone screws over the insurance industry do you honestly think the insurance co's are going to eat the costs? Of course not, they pass them on to us. In one sentence you claim premiums are too high and yet in another you infer your doc (the one that stole from insurance co's) wasn't much of a criminal. Well, he was enough of a criminal that he went to jail for it. If you aren't willing to scream about those robbing the insurance co's with fake claims for free money, do you really have a moral right to complain about the premiums you pay?
I can appreciate they saved your life. All our doctors saved our lives, that's what WLS is all about. We all had obesity related issues, you aren't alone there. You are merely one of us. However, skill IS an issue. I'm glad your surgery went well, that isn't true for all the patients your doctor has cared for.

P.S. Who's paying you to be the foremost authority on lapbands... I checked out your highly opinionated, AKA disguised as "neutral" site, on "How to Find a Mexican Surgeon". I though maybe you were like me... just somebody happy to have a gastric band, healthier, hopefully adding a few years to my life as a result. Alas, I guess I'm one of those people whose cup is always half full and trying to find the best in people... someone you would probably consider niave.

Nobody pays me for my services, I do it all for free. I am not the one pushing one doc, I push research. I push having a freak'en clue about who you are going to. I push knowing about the doctor that will be cutting into you. There are about 4 docs in Mexico that are better than average, there are about 4 that are simply dangerous. The rest are simply average.
I find it funny that you infer I am being paid for posting a research thread on this forum (sig link) when in fact, you are the one selling your own doc on this board. Who is really behaving as a patient coordinator here? How much do you think people pay me for reading my sig link? Are you serious?
Try harder for a better slam, you aren't doing so well.
