Do the Docs out there know of this site?

I cant thank all my bionic brothers enough for the great advice I have received. I know FT has saved my Doc lots of freak-out questions on my part. Seems like it would benefit every patient to have access to the wealth of experience and knowledge on here. Maybe they cant, professionally, recommend something like FT?

Yes, mine does know about FT. He is quick to caution that the ratio of men complaining doesn't represent the actual satisfaction/complaint rates.
I filter that some. He does YouTube videos for Boston Scientific. Speaks at some conferences. Been part of some key studies. I suspect that he doesn't quite understand how many poor old school surgeons are out there.
I've mentioned on the "implant" part of the forum about a conference he did in I think Phoenix. Its on YouTube. Dr's Jones & Loh Doyle are with him. If your proposed surgeon isn't participating in continuing education? I would say beware, his skills are frozen in time.
They have to know that anything recorded & put online will be shared on any revelent forums.
