Hi Lastime & Phalloboard crew,
My beef as i suspected is that Dan\'s services are over-rated, we chatted two times in the lobby at the hospital he works or worked at in orange county, ca. Dan can never find a Doctor to hold onto, he\'s worked with
Urologist, pediatric
Urologist, & now most recently several general & plastic surgeons. Before i went back to school this year, to work on my Bachelor\'s in Biology, I\'ve worked 2-years as an EMT(Ambulance & Emergency Dept. experience), and 2-years as a Respiratory Therapist (ED Staff, ICU, neonatal intern experience). My point being is that Dan\'s experience as an RN is over-rated, he\'s been facilitating this PE hobby for years, and now he\'s capitalized this hobby into a business, which I personally believe is to make an extra buck at the expense of the patient. I purchased his EXS system which broke after 2-weeks worth of use & i was only
Hanging 5lbs, the device was poorly constructed and looked like a piece of pre-used scratched/recycled acrylic held together by epoxy bond. It took another month of phone tag and e-mails to track him down, requesting my full-refund of the product. ON the 2nd time we met, he pulled up in his silver mazda 3 in the hospital parking lot explaining to me why he was MIA for a whole month. Perhaps his attitude has changed in recent years, but I would never EVER! use his services, as a professional clinician i can spot a crappy nurse a mile away. I visit Tj several times a month and would never need his help, HELL EP would be a better navigator/tour guide than Dan, and the city isn\'t any worse than East Los Angeles in its safety level, poor Phoenix AZ has a worse reputation in kidnappings than Tj. If i were to personally have Comacho\'s lengthening proceedure, all i would need is $40-50 round trip from my Los Angeles home to Tj in my VW, then book a safe & modern room at Hotel Ticuan (3-3.5 star hotel) for $58, $15-30 on food (covers 3 hearty meals), and maybe 2 100-mg viagra @ $14 a piece ($28). I\'m not worried about wound-care, dan was a med-surg nurse & a floor care nurse, and those nurses aren\'t like the special wound-care nurses who have to shadow and log in so many hours of wound-care experience. Most Community Hospital Emergency depts. have a Physician-assistant suture up the laceration or have the ED techs. (EMT\'s) clean & irrigate the wounds before an antibiotic ointment is applied. And no offense to med-surg nurses but they are generally lazy, i\'d be helping our anesthesiologist in the OR on the ventilator while the med-surg nurse stands by or holds up the wall as we say in healthcare. I\'d personally trust an ICU or Emergency dept nurse with wound-care management before i trust a med-surg guy. In short, with the purchase of 2 viagra tabs, plus the other expenses i stated, i would be spending about $160 out of pocket, plus the cost of lengthening surgery (whether its $2000 or 2500). Lets say the surgery still cost $2000, whether that info is reliable or not, $2000 plus the $160, plus maybe $30 bucks on pain-killer meds/antibiotics from the 24 hour Pharmacy at Zona Rio (Near Cinepolis) only comes out to $2190! On Dan\'s phallocare website he\'s charging $3000. To friends of California, the states and foreign friends, this is a RIP-OFF!!! He\'s charging an extra $800-700 bucks for his services, hell after taxes he didn\'t even make that much as an RN on 2-shifts . Hell i\'d offer those same services for cheaper. For that extra $800 i can bang alot of senoritas! In today\'s economy, that extra $$$ cash could be used on other things. My statements are transparent, and no-body needs to come to Dans defense. If you want to fork out the extra money, go for it. I\'m only writing this tid-bit because someone is coming out here as 1 of Dans friends, and i want other members to know my side of the story because i care and i hate to see folks get ripped-off, money is money. As soon as i have the cash flow by summer\'s end i\'m going about things my way as i stated above, hopefully Dr. Comacho can honor his $2000 pricing, who knows. But if anyone ever needs any info on a more economical approach PM me. Cheers gents
Thanks A-TEAM
