Successful Prostatectomy Surgery on Jehovah's Witness

 I learned I had prostrate cancer in late May 2010. I am 67 years old, diabetic, and had both TURP surgery and hernia surgery in the past. Being a Jehovah's Witness I was very concerned about the blood issue. Since conventional prostrate surgery is very bloody, it was not an option. Wait and watch was also not an option because of the death of my wife's father during this process. After careful review I decided on Robotic Prostrate Surgery. It was a great choice because of the doctor involved.

OK I rest my case.

XXXXXXX....is he some kind of surgeon or something?

edited same as above, see explanation in ed's (f8)post.

While prostate surgery is typically bloody, this can typically be dealt with, without transfusion:

1. Robatic surery has less blood loss, presumably because the abdomen is pumped full of air.
2. A scavenger device can be used for open surgery. The blood in the surgical cavity is sucked up into the machine, filtered, and infused back into you.
3. You can give and store your own blood so it can be used for transfusions.

The first reference to XXXX did not pass my smell test and this is worse.


MODERATOR -- the facts may be true but we don't need some surgeon hawking his wares via his surrogate patients.



I rarely complain -- but this is ridiculous

I like the BOLD print for the doctors name, all of us on the forum are doing that now too.

**small print- the writer is held harmless from any similarity to the real doctor or events, done just with fun-pun envolvement, if any events are truthfulness these comments then become endorsements for extraordinary work.....call BR-549 Jr. Samples

I agree with Mel. In fact, maybe we should all phone xxxxxx and tell him we know who he is....we've had our surgeries, or brachytherapies, or other treatments, and we don't need to hear his testimonials. If my surgeon asked me to come onto this site and sing his praises, I'd find that extremely self-aggrandizing and unprofessional.
In xxxxxx, why does a guy who, according to Mr. Kevitz' post does 500 surgeries a year, need to promote himself? Is he striving for 600 a year? Good grief!


Edited name out, see F8's post for explanation

Yep, moderators this is starting to reek like a scam in disguise, I dont care if he his a great surgeon or not, this is real cheesy advertising and not cleverly disguised at that.

I want to put in a word for my surgeon, DR. BILLY BOB SMITH. Everything about his practice is first-class, from his beautiful and semi-talented receptionist to his ultra-clean offices. My operation went so smoothly that I went out the next day and ran the New York City Marathon. And won! What more can a man ask for?

So call today at 123-456-7890.

And if you call in the next 15 minutes you will receive a free colonoscopy, courtesy of DR. BILLY BOB SMITH.

And he also makes house calls! Brings his robot right to your own bedroom. Now where are you going to find a better offer than that? Remember ... DR. BILLY BOB SMITH, 123-456-7890.

And both have been first posts.

{Edited} This doctor has been well known for his inappropriate ad campaigns. First off, I know the needs of a Johovah's Witness to avoid blood transfusion. But There is no one particular doctor who offer's any advantage for this reason.

If I do not hear from this poster within a few hours I will submit him for account cancellation.
