Milam strikes again

[ED2013]

Thanks everyone for the support.
I have asked simple questions numerous times to both the Dr.
and his staff. Their arrogance and chosing to sidestep my questions rather than provide logical answers has influenced me to seek treatment elsewhere.

I also recommend contacting a top surgeon. 2" is a helluva lot right off the bat.

Same arrogant assholes they always have been. The main reason I posted my hundreds of pages of rants was the hope of saving others of this. If only the loss of length were the issue, but to add the nastyness and arrogant attitude is really humiliating, infuriating. Sorry you have to deal with this buddy. So very very sorry. d

My question is if you losted 2" would you not have a floppy head ? Just a question.

Thanks for the feed back everyone.

Alibaba. ..I plan on going the same route ...implant and Doctor as you did for your revision when I have mine perforned. Im assuming I have to wait about 6 months till I can have my rrevision performed.

Although I might regain a bit of size during the healing process, a centimeter or two maybe, realistically I wont return to even close to what I was without revision surgery. I hope that is not the case but based on what I have read on this board, I think I will need revision surgery to regain my size.

Too many bad similarities with others who have been treated by Milam. It comes down to the fact that Milam made the decision on his own that it is ok thst I lose a significate amount of size for the rest of my life. His adtitude and that of his staff is that I should be greatfull to have the ability to get erect and forget about my size loss.

It just doesnt pass the logic test that, based on the expierences of others and the number of times he has performed the operation that he had no Idea how much it could possibly shorten me.

Notice I said possibly. I didn't expect absolutes, just honesty prior to the operation by informing me how much size I could possibly lose.

What is the most I should realistically expect regain in size during the next six months?
Does anyone have a protocol I might follow during the next six months to increase size?

Thanks again for everyone's support and feedback

BPPBPP99, I'm so sorry you had to be another of Milam's victims. The man and his staff are totally incompetent. I'm wondering if there's enough victims here to start a lawsuit. Seriously.

I wouldn't wait too long, but would contact Eid or Kramer for a consultation. I'm having revision surgery with Eid next month (provided my platelet count stays above zero). He's already gone through everything with me, and seems certain he can get at least one more inch for me.

Right before surgery, Milam told me twice that I would lose size. He told me earlier that my size would be in the normal range. Well, 4" is in the bottom 5%, which isn't normal.

For the surgery with Eid, I'll fly into NYC on Sunday, see him on Monday, have surgery on Wednesday, see him again on Friday, then fly home on Saturday. It's not a long stay.

Good luck to you.

I keep reading these post from patients of Milam. It seems that they are all 2 inches to short is the main problem. The guy is at a very good institute and he does a fair amount of implants a year. Has he given anyone an explanation of what happen? I believe what everyone is saying. But I can tell you and maybe it is the Irish in me , but would be back at that guys office and in his face and he may get a ass whipping. Trust me it would not be the first time I got into one of their faces. These guys and gals are not gods. My 2 cents

Tybeeman, I think Milam's excuse would be that he warned the patient. That he told the patient his size would be in the normal range, and 4" is not, is another matter.

I contacted a malpractice attorney after my surgery, and was told that malpractice suits are very difficult to win, as people look up to doctors. They're also very expensive to prosecute, and it's not worth the attorney's time unless the potential settlement is in the millions. I understand.

I wonder, though, if things would change if there's a group of 6 or more patients with the same bad results from the same surgeon. I've called a couple of malpractice firms this morning, and I'm hoping they'll call back.

Milam has to be driven out of the implant business. He's a butcher, and leaves some shattered emotional wrecks in his wake.

[BPPBPP99]

I understand what you mean about answers to my questions but if I have to force an answer from him my gut tells me based on his and his staff"s previous
disingenuous answers and arrogant adtitude that I shouldn't trust thier answers at this point.

[Tybeeman]

Guys I really feel for you and i understand the law suit part if the end result is not to the patents liking. I guess it brings up the question. If i get done with my implant and I am 2 inches shorter, but the implant tips are into the glans, I really don't have a leg to stand on. I guess my main question was to the guy on that his tips where 2 inches from the glans. Now that is malpractice in anyone's book.

Now that I am scheduled to have my implant, my main concern after infection or product malfunction, which is hard to put on the doctors, was sizing. AMS and Coloplast have representative in the surgery helping with fitting. I am sorry but I am missing something here and the reason for my questions is, how in the hell can you be 2 inches off?

[ThePlumber1964]

Tybeeman,

The final result is 100% dependent on the doctor's call. I can tell you from experience that every surgeon uses the company representative differently; some take their advice seriously as part of their surgical team, while others see them just a part of the suppliers chain.

All,

If pursuing a malpractice lawsuit individually (not a class-action one), and you have a good case, you will need to retain an "ambulance chaser" lawyer, not a big firm.

This is a delicate subject that due to the fact that some surgeons (at least I know of a couple of them) are active on this forum. If there would be a way on this forum to discuss and disseminate information about this subject, aside from PM function, I will be more than happy to provide you all options available for patients to hold the irresponsible surgeons accountable. Believe me, there are multiple ones. Not all are easy task, but possible.

If you can talk with the Forum Administrator, and develop a tight chatting room only for pre-screened users, I am willing to share my knowledge about this topic.
