We tend to expect the medical profession to perform medical procedures to a higher standard of compliance than most businesses, but there are area's of this profession where Doctors perform surgery's and produce zero results time and time again.
I speak of Vasectomy reversals. it seems the medical watchdogs that keep Doctors and their advertising honest have let these people slip by without accountability. Most advertise a 96% success rate, but don't explain the math behind the 96%. they hide behind the fine print and unreadably small disclaimers like most businesses today.
This is an area of medicine that exploits the desire of married couples wishing to have children, these couples go from doctor to doctor paying thousands of dollars and in the end they have nothing to show for their investment except the heartbreak of disappointment.
On a recent Vaso- epididymostomy, I woke on the operating table to extreme pain as the doctor was still working on the right side. after the surgery and while I was recovering in a nearby hotel, the doctor asked if I would be willing to write a short letter praising my overall experience with his service and with my travel plans to his state and the limo service to and from the airport. which of course was extra beyond the $8.000 cash for surgery. I felt as if I had booked a flight to Disneyland, How can one expect a patient to write a complimentary letter before the results from the surgery are in? well there in now. not one sperm alive or dead. and so far between two doctors I have spent $20.000 dollars! now i'm looking at IVF (inverto-fertilization) the cost here will exceed the amount of $25.000. In this world today..if you pay cash, it seems the results are the same. they have your money, and don't try to do a good job. we need an oversight committee to open doctors records and find out how many are crooks, the first doctor I went to lost his accrediation to work with insurance co. for services, so he picked a cash service, and this fact was only discovered after his death, even though the medical community knew it.
