Steves response to my Dr. Ren posting.

December 10, 2001

Hello. I think it is wonderful that there is such a great level of exchange

on the site, however, I must take issue with the response to my original post.

I ORIGINALLY WROTE: Lastly, I cannot say enough about Dr. Ren's skill level.

I would recommend both her bedside manner and more importantly her surgical

skills to ANYONE.

And STEVE responded by ignoring what I originally wrote and changing my words

to fit his response.

Lastly, I cannot say enough about Dr. Ren's skill level. I would recommend

>both her bedside manner ... to ANYONE.

If it is bedside manner that i am interested in, I can hire a

prostitute. My surgeon can be the world's worst sonofabitch for all

I care ('cuz i can be a mean machine, too), as long as he knows

what the heck he is doing and does it right.

CLEARLY THIS RESPONSE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH MY ORIGINAL POST, NOT COUNTER TO

IT. OBVIOUSLY, SURGICAL SKILL TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER BEDSIDE MANNER, I WAS

JUST LAUDING DR. REN FOR BOTH OF THESE AMAZING QUALITIES.

STEVE RESPONDED TO THE FOLLOWING:

>

>Her hesitancy if it can even be called that about doing the DS is a realistic

>one when faced with 4-6 hour surgeries on already compromised patients. Lets

>try to get our heads out of our collective butts when we criticize these

>doctors for being hesitant.

Perhaps she is justified in her hesitancy as she assesses her own

skills?

DR. REN'S HESITANCY IF IT CAN EVEN BE CALLED THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO

DO WITH HER CONFIDENCE LEVEL. SHE IS ABOUT THE MOST CONFIDENT AND SKILLED

SURGEON I WENT TO....AND SHE HAS THE EXPERIENCE. I THINK THE PEOPLE ON THIS

LIST NEED TO REALLY READ THE POSTS BEFORE THEY JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.

But, there are surgeons who feed darned confident about

doing the DS and who have the track record of successes to back up

their confidence.

DR. RENS TRACK RECORD IS IMPECCABLE...WHY DONT YOU ASK HER PATIENTS WHO ARE

AMONG THE MOST LOYAL BUNCH OF 'SWITCHED' INDIVIDUALS I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS..

thanks again for letting me rant.
