Wow RBM--what an ordeal! So glad that you're now on the mend even though it will still take a while.

I guess we'll all try to be more careful, although one can't really escape a freak accident if it happens.

I hope that you recover quickly and can put this awful accident behind you.

I took the liberty of making note of this surgeon and his medical group for my own use, in case of an emergency. https://www.spineuniverse.com/specialist/orthopaedic-surgeon/ph/richard-condor-19754

As you helped to express, finding  doctors/hospitals is often through chance, or trial and error, and is not always a good outcome.  I don't know about how willing we forum members are about sharing the names good doctors and hospitals that they personally have benefited from in their area. I know that it would be something that I'd be grateful to read about and take note of, and if I had any to share I would. I wonder if that could be a new forum category in the future.

Thanks for sharing your story RBM. Take care, Queenie

You know what they call the guy who almost flunked out of medical school? Doctor.

I think that is a great idea!  We could have a pinned topic like others we have.  JGF?

I was thinking it might be a good idea to have the bad docs listed too, but that is a slippery slope.  It is not really fair for one of us to act as judge and jury.

I could recommend my primary care doc (who I need to see soon for a physical), and my skin doc, with a caveat.  He is expensive but he probably has a ton of money invested in his laser equipment.

I dont think its worth it most never look at pined topics. The philippines is a big place so listing a doc here and there is not much point. If a member likes to start a topic asking for a doctor say in Cebu or somewhere then someone will answer.

It may even draw unwanted attention to the Forum

Yes, unfortunately, true.

One has to remember that truth of what you say or post is not a positive defense against Philippine slander/libel laws. It would be a positive defense in the US but not the Philippines.
