Re: Med Journal Studies FrankTalk-turning the microscope around.

Thanks for the link. (edited for brevity) That is still my belief. At first read I took the bolded sentence to support my belief. However, as written, the sentence appears to possibly support the opposite. Or, is it just a poorly written sentence or perhaps a poorly condensed sentence which was con...

Re: Med Journal Studies FrankTalk-turning the microscope around.

They’re def the top two highest volume implant docs in the country w great reputations...but not everyone can see them of course. I went Roth a local doc who also is in the high volume category...Dr Karpman. I don't know for sure that Drs Eid and Kramer are the highest volume implanters in the worl...

Re: FT record for the maximum implant lifespan before/without revision?

Dg, actually, if you can still pump it, then it counts! 'Using' it is circumstantial. Nowhere in the advertising that it talks about usage affecting lifespan. Sure, nowhere in the advertising. But in the medical literature, there is acknowledgement of frequency of use affecting the service life. Un...

Re: Med Journal Studies FrankTalk-turning the microscope around.

What bias are you referring to? Eid and Kramer are so good, you should fly from the west coast to east coast to get an implant. That is the bias that so many guys were hyping here 2 years ago. Yeah, I SERIOUSLY considered that option. Even enrolled in the Maryland VA system and emailed both Drs Eid...

Re: Med Journal Studies FrankTalk-turning the microscope around.

What bias are you referring to? The bias (I believe, with the danger of overstepping acknowledged) is that there are a handful of surgeons mentioned here while (according to my surgeon) told me "You will be overflying a lot of good surgeons if you go to the East Coast for surgery." Note: ...

Re: Auto inflation

Isn’t auto inflation often due to the reservoir being encapsulated to small vs defective pump? Can be caused by either or both. I have heard that most surgeons will replace the entire implant rather that just the pump, due to the potential for infection. If that's true Sir, I'll just leave it as it...

Hello, I am a new member (50 years old) and I am trying to get some advice around a problem I have been dealing with for a little over 30 years on and off.
