Doctors lie about long term outcomes and risks
 

Folks-Please read the article about Dr. Shenaq and Dr. Nath I put on this site under Houston Chronicle nerve surgeons. I believe this is exactly what will happen to Dr. Ahn and Jordan and hopefully others making profit, opening private offices to diagnose and DO Botox injections for TOS and Thoracic Outlet Surgery. Both Shenaq and Nath got many patients in Houston from a website just like this one--where parents talked about their children with nerve injuries to brachial plexus. We don't know who the people who post are. On the website Shenaq and Nath used attornies lurked and organized picnics for the parents to bring with their children and Nath and Shenaq showed up to evaluate the kids at the picnics and often declare that their child needed surgery at Texas Children's Hospital in HOuston. They got quite a following, and attorneys made profits--surgeons became millionaires. I watched UBPN for years--told my story of a failed surgery by Nath and got BANNED from the website. Parents were very defensive--but mainly attornies were behind the banning. Attornies who did not like my REAL story hurting their profits.
One attorney even threatened me from Boston.
--I picture Ahn and Jordan having a beer together in Santa Monica or playing golf and laughing with each other about how they have found a great way to make a living---all of us suckers letting them put needles in our necks and cut out our neck muscles with very little evidence that it will help. That is what a picture a conversation between Ahn and Jordan might go like. Maybe one day one partner--and I do MEAN partner might sue the other like Shenaq and Nath.---I have very little functional life left.
Please don't end up like. Ask them to SEE their data. I know people who had surgeries at UCLA by Ahn and NO ONE ever interviewed them later to see if they were better. They weren't. Many are too disabled and too sad to bother with the internet anymore.----I beg you all to think about surgery very carefully. Call Peter Edgelow, physical therapist in Hayward to be sure that you have done ALL you can do first. Or Talk to PTs in your area who have experience in it and other doctors who see the outcomes. If TOS docs can LIE in Vasc. Surgery Journals--like Annest did when he said they never made ANYONE worse---be careful. No one is there to pick up the pieces after , in fact if you think doctors avoid you now--try seeing primary care doctors and specialists after a failed TOS surgery--they will RUN away from you.
Our medical board and American Med Assoc needs to take a stand on the numbers of TOS surgeries and demand long and short term outcome research and supervise protocols for allowing all this invasive and mutilating procedures to occur. Someone needs to stop them. For me, and all the other victims of these surgeons and this surgery. Triste www.sonic.net/bjj

I have seen Drs that were posted in threads that were not covered under the Drs. Sticky List at the top of the thread page... it is difficult to find/monitor all threads for new doctors that need to be added to this list and I ask if you would send this info. directly to me via. a PM to DDayMBB,
when doing so I ask that you provide Drs, name, specialty, address, phone number and E-mail address if known thank you DDayMBB it would make it quicker and easier to get it up on the board quicker also one other request is to make sure the Dr or PT you want added is not already up on the board, unless there is a change of address, phone number etc. again please PM this info. to DDayMBB
