Two botched surgeries and a shocking 2nd Opinion
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:25 pm
I went out of town to a well known, high volume surgeon six months ago. I’ll call him Dr.A. The result was cylinders that were way too short, resulting in “floppy head” , the right cylinder actually protruded out. Flew back to Dr.A and he said he’d redo it. The second surgery, three months ago, it’s still too short and the left cylinder protrudes out the left this time. Saw Dr. A again and he admitted it was not usable and yet another surgery was needed. I decided to seek a second opinion.
So I went to see Dr. B.. He brought up my Peyronie's disease
Me: Isn’t that when your penis is crooked? Cause mine was straight, Dr.A even commented on how straight it was.
Dr.B: Well Dr.A operated on you for it twice, in both operations. It’s in your op reports. And that bump on the side of your penis is clearly from the scarring of the procedure.
Me: Doesn’t that shorten your penis?
Dr. B: Yup!
Me: Why would he do that?
Dr. B: Your insurance pays per procedure and he can make more money if he adds on procedures.
Now I really don’t know what to think! I have a hard time comprehending that someone would do something like that for money.
