When I went for a consultation for revision surgery, the doctor looked at my nose and said, “Your nose is pretty, so why did you come?” and said the surgeon who did my first surgery had done a good job too. So I thought they were being honest, and they were kind and the consultation was long. It felt like we were making a plan together, so I really liked it and thought, let’s just do the revision surgery here, and I did it. After my first surgery, something like a stitch was sticking out from the cartilage area inside my nose, and when I told them, they looked at it with an endoscope camera and said, “This is a stitch, so it would be good to remove it or cut it,” and that they would remove it during the revision surgery. So I believed them. After the surgery, I visited after removing the splint because it seemed like there was a step-off, but they said the line came out well for this level and that it was still swelling and things like that, so I just said okay and left. Then about two weeks later, when I was applying ointment inside my nose with a cotton swab, I inserted it a bit deep, and I felt the same stitch-like foreign material in the exact same spot. I lightly put my finger in, and that same stitch could be felt in the exact same place. So I went to the clinic the next day and said I could feel a stitch, and asked if they had not removed it during the revision surgery. The doctor looked and then said, “Why are you doing everything I told you not to do? Why did you put that in there to check?” They said that what felt like a stitch during the revision surgery had been something like a very fine hair, so it could not even be felt, and that they had already pulled it out.. No, I obviously know that what I’m feeling is not hair, and before the revision surgery, when they looked inside with an endoscope, they said it was a stitch and that they would remove it. It seems like they forgot and didn’t do it, but now they’re telling me that it was something like a tiny fine hair that could not even be felt, and that they already removed it. They told me to stop worrying about it and said, “At this point, it’s an illness.” They said this outside the consultation room, in front of all the staff. The staff were all really reading the room, and they looked at me with such pity and patted my back.. Honestly, I almost cried, but I didn’t cry, and at the end I just smiled and said, “Everything you say is right, doctor~” and left. Anyway, I had gone there just because if the doctor had forgotten to remove it, I simply wanted to know whether they could cut it like they had said, but they treated me as if I had come to nitpick and complain, so I was shocked. That kind, warm, honest-looking attitude was nowhere to be found lol. Maybe they were annoyed because I went twice, but since it’s revision surgery, isn’t it natural to be bothered even by small things? I think the doctor should reassure the patient about things like that and provide aftercare too.. Anyway, just I think I’ll go to an ENT in Korea and ask about this stitch-like thing I can feel. lol I never want to go there again. They keep sending me KakaoTalk messages about a review event. Can I just write it honestly? lol
아머리아퍼 That doctor is seriously unbelievable. Seems like they forgot and didn’t do it, then got defensive and got even angrier.
에휴 [@아머리아퍼] Yeah, they forgot and didn’t remove it, then made me out to be someone nitpicking over something weird
누유하 There really seem to be so many clinics whose attitude is different before and after surgery..
wwwggg That’s seriously too much... Their attitude changing like that is honestly chilling. I mean, if you went back to the same clinic for revision surgery, that means it really bothered you (+ you trusted the clinic too), but once they’ve gotten what they need from the patient, if it seems like things will get annoying, they just cut the patient off.... lol
에휴 [@wwwggg] The first surgery was done somewhere else But when I was getting revision surgery elsewhere, this doctor said the first-surgery doctor had done fairly well too, but that my needs were more important, and asked how I wanted to improve it and things like that. They seemed honest, so I trusted them.. But after the revision surgery, their attitude completely changed..
에휴 [@누유하] Exactly..
rhadl When they seem kind and benevolent during the consultation but then suddenly change after surgery, it’s seriously chilling My doctor was like that during my first surgery too, so because of the trauma, I’m hesitating about revision surgery. I’m scared their attitude will suddenly change again after surgery.
수술성공기원1 Seriously insane.. That doctor guy thinks everything he says is right.
옛날사람 / Doctors seem to think that as long as they don’t admit it, that’s enough. Is there some law saying we have to take everything they say as the answer? Should I have the conversation at my house? Because everything I say is law at my house too.
커피과자 Ah..... It’s revision surgery, and it’s a part where you naturally can’t help but be sensitive, so why did he say it like that;; He was the one who said he would do it.. You must have been upset and embarrassed;;
에휴 [@rhadl] Yeah I’m traumatized too, so I never want to go here again. Even if I have a third surgery, I don’t think I’ll ever go here again.
에휴 [@수술성공기원1] Yeah, they got angry and insisted on it. What I said was wrong, and everything they said was right.
에휴 [@OldPerson] Right
에휴 [@CoffeeSnack] Yeah, they treated me like a mentally ill person. He said I kept looking at him like I didn’t trust him, and if I really couldn’t trust him, he would show me again with an endoscope, but then he didn’t put it all the way inside and just showed me around the edge of the nostril, saying “There’s nothing there, right?” I just said okay and left
