lol. This is the most insane thread.
I love the idea of doctors and device reps on here using fake accounts to try and drum up business. Haha! The doctors particularly. Why bother with branding yourself… just use a fake account to drive demand up generally, some of it will eventually get to you!
And this conspiracy, my lord! Not just are the doctors all in cahoots lying about the stats, but they are also falsifying the patient satisfaction surveys! The doctors, the device manufacturers, the FDA, even the patients… all in cahoots.
But they hide it so well! My other set of brethren, the lawyers, would LOVE to get their hands on a case like this. Device manufacturers and doctors colluding to manufacture stats on device failure so as to boost their profits, using made-up stats and using fake Frank Talk accounts, and then indiscriminately slicing up dudes penises? My god, the payout in that class action would be astronomical! Unfortunately, they haven’t seemed to find any evidence of that, despite the huge financial incentives for them to do so. But do not fear! Lucky for us, anonymous user “tooyoung” has cracked the case!
lol.
Guys. Dudes get implants cuz their dicks don’t work, not because doctors are posing here hyping it up. Implants work, largely as advertised. They don’t need to be sold.
There ARE snake oil salesmen out there. I’m looking at you “The Phoenix”! But this shit… this shit ain’t it.
This site needs less trolling, and more fucking. Hopefully Dan will start selling an ebook soon full of all his implant knowledge.
Be well, brothers,
Leto
The good news
Re: The good news
50. Implanted 5/21/2024 at Kaiser SSF. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

@TooYoung,
I want to recommend you this book. As a critical and analytical thinker, I think you will love this book! Have fun!
Ending Medical Reversal: Improving Outcomes, Saving Lives (Johns Hopkins Press Health Books)
https://a.co/d/iAX0cJ7
Why medicine adopts ineffective or harmful medical practices only to abandon them―sometimes too late.
Medications such as Vioxx and procedures such as vertebroplasty for back pain are among the medical advances that turned out to be dangerous or useless. What Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad and Dr. Adam S. Cifu call medical reversal happens when doctors start using a medication, procedure, or diagnostic tool without a robust evidence base--and then stop using it when it is found not to help, or even to harm, patients.
In Ending Medical Reversal, Drs. Prasad and Cifu narrate fascinating stories from every corner of medicine to explore why medical reversals occur, how they are harmful, and what can be done to avoid them. They explore the difference between medical innovations that improve care and those that only appear to be promising. They also outline a comprehensive plan to reform medical education, research funding and protocols, and the process for approving new drugs that will ensure that more of what gets done in doctors' offices and hospitals is truly effective.
About the Author
Vinayak K. Prasad, MD, MPH is a practicing hematologist-oncologist and internal medicine physician. An associate professor of medicine and public health at Oregon Health & Science University, he is the coauthor of Ending Medical Reversal: Improving Outcomes, Saving Lives.
Adam S. Cifu, MD, is a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago. He is a practicing general internist, medical educator, and the coauthor of Symptom to Diagnosis: An Evidence-Based Guide
Every doctor should read this book.
―JAMA Internal Medicine
[A]n excellent and realistic discussion of some of the horror stories that occur in medical practice . . . The examples are quite interesting and certainly educational for all readers. Highly recommended.
―Choice
Ending Medical Reversal goes far in teaching medical students and practicing physicians alike how to learn on our own.
―The Lancet
This has to be on the reading list for medical and nursing students.
―Nursing Times
Ending Medical Reversal presents persuasive evidence that many current standard-of-care treatments are probably ineffective or harmful, thoroughly explains how such treatments came to be accepted, and proposes a number of ways to address the general problem (only some of which involve avaricious companies and mercenary physicians) and minimize its impact on a specific patient.
―Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices
Dr. Prasad and Dr. Cifu offer a five-step plan, including pointers for determining if a given treatment is really able to do what you want it to do, and advice on finding a like-minded doctor who won't object to a certain amount of back-seat driving.
―The New York Times
When I describe Ending Medical Reversal as revolutionary, I don't use the term lightly. Go out and read it―right now.
―Common Sense Family Doctor
Should be considered for undergraduate reading lists. Keep a copy in the pharmacy or your briefcase as a great icebreaker or discussion point with other local healthcare professionals.
―The Pharmaceutical Journal
An outstanding, genre-defining work, this book will be read by students, educators, policymakers, scientists, scholars, medical skeptics, and health-care pundits alike.
―John Henning Schumann, MD, host of Public Radio Tulsa's Medical Matters
An important book that frames medical reversal in a compelling way. Readers will be drawn to this clearly written account.
―David S. Jones, MD, Harvard University, author of Broken Hearts: The Tangled History of Cardiac Care
