SRS with Andrew Ives in Melbourne Australia

[thegirlinblue]

If someone wants to talk about "their" experience with Andrew by all means start a thread. Same goes for Suporn, there's 100's of Suporn threads already do we really need to turn this one into a Suporn thread.

Agreed, it's nice to finally have a thread that isn't all about thailand or overseas surgeons. I am sure they are all good but some of us really want to use the resources available in our home country.

In the last video I posted in his interview at the 7 minute mark, he says he does do revisions and fixes on overseas work, but explains it's not covered by medicare. Granulation is very common and unless it's inside the vagina I'd be surprised if a GP wouldn't do it.

I've found a gynecologist who's going to deal with the granulation for me. It won't be an issue.

However the response from Dr Ives' receptionist was very unhelpful and clear about not taking any patients from other surgeons regardless. I understand there would never be coverage by medicare, but to refuse outright? So someone is telling a fib. It may well be the receptionist, she certainly didn't have a warm vibe about her. To quote her, "this is one of the risks when you go overseas for surgery".

I almost hope Dr Ives reads this.

I assume that means me since I keep mentioning him. My last one however was intended to be in support of Dr Ives rather than overseas. If you have issues with money or travel then I think that would work in Dr Ives favor.

This thread has descended into a place that is insulting to the op and becoming irrelevant cross dialogue.

I will ask that the useful links are put into links.

I see no reason at all that a person's PA is subjected to implied or other insult.

It is her job to do her job.

No one on this Forum has a right to insult her - or shall I say any staff of any unit.

Ash is not a member of this Forum. None of Dr Ives staff are.

I will not tolerate such behaviour.

I will post something extra.

Last week I met with two secretaries of a prominent Australian psychiatrist who ended up in tears about the abuse they have received because the waiting list was too long.

Sure is it their fault?

I saw some of the posts: I've booked surgery and need a second opinion next week, sorry we can't do it Dr is booked out - the venom and hatred that poured out was disgusting.

Ye, being transgender is ->-bleeped-<-.  I know - I really do know what our dreams mean: But you rub a PA or a receptionist or a secretary's face in the dirt because you feel bad?

You tell a surgeon that you are the most important? Yes you are but so are we all. Get over it.

You argue that Dr X is better than Dr Y, get over it; they are all good.

Dr Y will not do a revision on Dr X's work - get over it. No surgeon or rather very few surgeons in any field likes revising another persons work - you don't know what or how they have done a procedure.

I think it is time this community grew up.

I have posted this in anger.

I very rarely do that, as Admin I usually count to 50,000 before a reply but am sick of this self defeating, blame some one else for decision attitude.

I will shut up before I really get angry.
