There is a good message here; look for hypocrisy. I agree, kind of like when someone talks down about medical tourism and going to Turkey for a hair transplant as a concept but has no problem operating a dental tourism website to send people to their bed & breakfast in Macedonia while combining the trip with dirt cheap dental work.
Lists are a funny thing. You talk about lists as if they are naturally something to be shunned yet Dr. Bisanga, your favorite doctor, is a member of most every list you detest. This could be viewed from three different angles. What does this say about Dr. Bisanga? What does this say about lists? What does this say about you? I have an idea on each.
What this says about Dr. Bisanga is that he's a quality doctor that has a rightful place on these lists and pays the appropriate funds for inclusion on these lists. Done and done.
What this says about lists is that one must have a bit of common sense when reviewing these lists and see them for what they are as each list has their own set of guidelines to consider. One list I know of goes out of its way to inform people that it acknowledges and encourages the idea that their list is not the end all be all of lists and that one must do their own research to find the clinic that is right for them. Just because you don t agree with some of the names that are listed doesn t mean they aren t worth considering by others.
What this says about you is that you have this romantic idea that if someone is doing something different than the others then it must be the better way. This is something that you think you can relate to because you too do things a different way. God bless you for it. However, your ego and sense of self importance doesn't allow you to consider that other ideas may be just as good as your own or even better depending on the situation. You have no problem critiquing others, calling people scumbags and such but you never look inward and realize that you are no different than those that you criticize. You have your own list, that includes a doctor that has been disciplined for violating medical ethics and self prescribing narcotics AND was diagnosed as having, as one court appointed reviewer put it, "...narcissistic personality traits being a grandiose sense of his self importance...". The reviewer was also a doctor but not a hair transplant doctor. You once said that if you were ever a hair transplant doctor you would imagine being just like this doctor.
You once asked me if it bothered me to see posters recommending clinics that they have no experience with. You ve never been to any doctor that you hold in high esteem in your personal list and recommend except of course for Dr. Bisanga yet you continue to extol the virtues of those you admire but have yet to ever meet so what makes YOUR list, much less your opinin, so much better than that of anyone else?
Finally, what you may not realize is that your praise of HLE not having a list is incorrect. Hairloss Experiences has a list of 23 doctors/clinics, each shown at the bottom of every page with their respective logos. These doctors/clinics are not simply advertisers, as HLE does not accept just anyone. The same goes for the other forum you mentioned, as it is not a cut and dry advertising platform as you claim. There are some clinics that cannot pay to advertise there, same as here, so this proves that there is a vetting process of some sort thereby discrediting your position, and praise, entirely. I also think you owe HLE an apology for using it as a soapbox for your praise of another forum. Your tiny comment of praise about HLE not having a list was nothing more than a red herring, and an incorrect one at that, so you can promote your favourite forum above this one, which has been one of your more recent patterns. What s unfortunate is that when you re on that forum you only refer to HLE as that other forum . Double standard much?
