Re: I have ed + loss of sensation— will an implant give me sensation again?
There's a lot of questions that are pertinent. First, abdominal or spinal injury? This would have bearing on the spinal nerve levels potentially affected. The abdomen is generally mid to lower lumbar innervation; erection, ejaculation, sphincter control is sacral innervation. Some abdominal nerve in...

Re: Coloplast v AMS
OK, this might seem funny. When I saw Dr. Kramer before surgery, he gets right in and grabs you, pretty darn fast about it. He said "older" guys sometimes have trouble with the Coloplast bulb being too difficult to squeeze, and AMS was easier, and that was his choice for me. It could also ...

Re: Maybe A stupid thought?
Stephen, you weren't the one making a backdoor slur. But your last paragraph in the comment before this one was about 60 words that almost, sort of, pretty much, implied that he's a narcissist. Kind of like the "you might be a redneck" riffs. I don't have a "nerve" for Dr. K. I j...

Re: Maybe A stupid thought?
Sorry to see these back door slurs against Dr. Kramer, knowing that two earlier threads got locked because some were engaging in personal defamation. In the case of a bad surgical outcome, the details are everything, and if you don't know the details, you shouldn't claim wrongdoing. White Cane said ...

Re: Dr. Kramer no longer with Chesapeake Urology
I'm a medical doctor, but not a urologist! That doesn't really matter to this opinion, but I'll just point out that Dr. Kramer has been a practicing urologist for 15-20 years, it's safe to say he has made some money. In fact, I would bet he was the highest earner in Chesapeake Urology. If a person i...

Re: Dr. Kramer no longer with Chesapeake Urology
One legal opinion would have been chump change for him. Unless it was one of the Sopranos, you know? /s I had an implant from him last fall at Medicare rates, which he must think of as charity work. But, if you could have 10-20 cases per week at $20-35K, you might think about telling your group to s...

Re: Dr. Kramer no longer with Chesapeake Urology
In current day America, you don't have to do anything wrong to be dropped in a heartbeat by your employer. Chesapeake Urology has 850 employees, that makes it a pretty big corporation. Just a hint of controversy, in the form of an opinion given by one of their doctors, can be enough for the CEO to f...

Re: Dr. Kramer no longer with Chesapeake Urology
DD, In order to not be thought a "liar" by the rest of us, you've got to put up or shut up. Many here have had many good things to say about Dr. Kramer. He's got a great track record, and that includes the personal care he's given to the out-of-town patients he's had. It is true that one's...

Re: Surgery and A1C Level
If you can get a Rx for Freestyle Libre patch, wear that and you can show 14 days of glucose history that could satisfy you and your doctor you are doing well.
