Re: Anyone disappointed with Ralph?

That’s the sign of an old-school surgeon, alright, being unable to accept culpability when they mess up. We all know that the tips are meant to be in the glans, hence the name ‘tips’ ffs. He might have a good rep etc but based on what I saw and what you’ve described of your comms with him, I’ll stay...

Re: Anyone disappointed with Ralph?

He absolutely does them. As I say, I’ve spoken to 3 personally who’ve had it done by him and they would not consent unless he was performing. I think this idea he supervises comes from the fact he is the lead surgeon in this field and trains a lot of ‘juniors’ when people go through the National Hea...

Re: Anyone disappointed with Ralph?

I’ve seen him privately several times. I would take Google reviews with a pinch of salt. Who goes on Google to give a doctor in the UK good reviews? It doesn’t really happen. He’s about as expert in Penile implants as they come and every single person I’ve spoken to who has one from him is extremely...

Re: Even with the top surgeons the chance of infection for us young guys is almost 10%

I’m not going to pretend to be a math wizard, quantum physicist or genius but the way independent event risk is calculated just doesn’t seem right. Type in ‘random number generator’ on Google. Assume ‘10’ represents infection. Set the field from 1 to 100. See how many times it takes until you get 10...

Re: Even with the top surgeons the chance of infection for us young guys is almost 10%

I’ve asked one of the very top implant surgeons in the world this very question. If virgin implant infection risk is <1% and revision risk is approx 2%, does that mean it goes up by 2% each time. Categorical answer was no, each revision remains 2% infection risk. Stop reading shit on the Internet.

Re: Idiots that don’t have a implant

Not implanted.

But I agree with your sentiment. So many naysayers who know sod all.

It’s a great solution and the vast majority of literature and user feedback supports that.

Re: 6.9 Million Cycles

just see the many reviews on FT, even those who are out of FT I assume they have the same results, if we then put it on the discourse that either you take that or nothing is another matter, but the story of 10 years in me stinks a lot I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I think DougAnd's ...

Re: Need One but Can’t Pull Trigger. Yet.

Please don't do this if your primary issue is mental. I know this goes well for most people but if it goes bad it can go real bad. Couldn’t disagree more. The mind is intrinsically linked to the process of an erection and arousal. Some men can become so corrupted mentally and fearful of sex. So wha...

Re: 6.9 Million Cycles

So it’s a technicality then, of course.

It’s still misleading to quote then because it does indeed refer to tests in a lab somewhere.

A more reliable stat to quote would be actual durability and length of time in patients.

But hey.
