If it is true as to what you are saying about his machine not working right for you then all he can do is try to sue you but I would doubt that due to how much it would cost him. You read on here where SCS work for some and not for others. Are the SCS companies threatening people that they will sue you because you don't agree that it did not work on you.
Has this been tested by the the right government department to back up what this Dr. is claiming as well as other Drs. testing for several years.
What I can tell from what meekobindi has wrote is this Dr. is selling some type of machine for rsd/crps patients without any instructions on how to use it. If this is the case then he cannot tell anyone not to write how well it really worked for them. Buyers beware when spending $425.00 on something that is not truly tested by other Drs. Just because this Dr. is using this on his patients for treatment does not mean that it works.
Sounds like a modern day snake oil sales person.

There IS a book that came with the machine the cost of the machine was $4000.00US that came from the company but the instructions are unclear & it doesn't tell you which protocols are for what disease as it's been used for other diseases besides RSD/CRPS, it works by stimulating the nerves just as acupuncture & reflexology does. Although my hubby has figured out how to use the machine with the help by phone & email conversations of the sales person at the company it came from we have had no input from any Dr.
We were told by someone on another site that in order for this particular Dr to help us then first of all we MUST be a patient of his & only then can we get given other protocols of which cost even more money from the things we have been reading. We simply didn't have the funds to go see this guy who is in Texas, & with pain so intense we took a gamble & did the only thing we could do at the time we bought the machine. A couple of the main reasons we bought the Dynatron STS machine, was it's apparent approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration in 2001 for chronic pain & it was written by the Dr in question that rather than going to this particular Dr that the machine was being rolled out both across the states & around the globe to YOUR OWN LOCAL Doctors where he would guide them via video or phone link up to guide them through the process, but as far as I am aware that hasn't happened. Hubby had some success with it but without knowing which protocols go where we are a sinking boat. Physically & Emotionally right now he is a mess, & I am not far behind. Financially we are not in good shape to go see this man, & all we want is somewhere where we can talk to like minded people maybe get some friendly guidance.
From what we learned from the sales person at the company we bought the machine from this Dr has not been forthcoming with information on this device, for sometime, we have no idea whether there was a war of words, but it became obvious that there was a parting of ways. I am aware that he has made an updated version of his own which he is selling to his patients so this time round only he holds the key.
Not being from a medical background I was under the impression that it was a Dr's sworn oath to help those in need, how can that be so when this man is not willing to help, unless you travel to HIM, well those who have this hideous condition knows that how can one travel when one can't even take care of their own needs, can't do the things they once enjoyed, let alone sit in a car or take a plane ride to get to help. Hubby has cancelled local Dr's appointments because he is in so much pain that he can't get out the door.Yet at other times he is almost no pain. We have seen that when he hasn't been able to go to the little men's room & I do mean both deeds, the pain is mind blowing excruciating we don't know why that is but once he has been able to go the pain is almost instantly at least halved if not gone almost entirely. We have no idea if there is a physical reason for this or that it's just coincidence. It's at those times when pain is at it's worst & no amount of his medications are working with the exception of binding him up, he would rather end his life then to keep suffering this way. I fear that one of these days his heart will just give out from the enormous strain it is under, or he will have a stroke. When pain is at it's worst his blood glucose levels shoot up due to his type 2 diabetes.
Thank you all for your input it is very much appreciated.
