This convention has been used for years. The other favorite is to divide the price by 1000, e.g. 20 cents instead of $200. LE isn’t fooled by either.

I mostly read the Lounge, but I’ve found QTR’s posts helpful. We differ on some things though. I tend to be more sympathetic to people’s tendency to stick with what works for them, even if that means excluding groups of people. There are many gay men who seek out str8 escorts, so I’m sure they’re not lacking for business. One question for @BaronArtz though: You’ve posted on muscle worship threads in the past. I don’t know if you’re still into that, but I thought most of the worship escorts were straight.

I can’t speak for him, but It’s possible that he’s turned off by straight/bi guys after experiencing poor service from/experiences with this group. That doesn’t mean all or even most str8/bi escorts would provide him with poor service. But I can’t blame people for generalizing off past experience when they’re risking $300+.

A red flag could also indicate a risk of poor service.

I could try, but my guess is that the main surgeon would be offended and tell me to go elsewhere. A few surgeons use closure techniques similar to those of PSs while others use barbed sutures. I like the bilingual nurse idea. I keep thinking of all that could go wrong abroad though, esp if I have complications @Gar1eth Thank you. I really appreciate it. TBH, it’s a relativelycommon issue.

This was a head to head study between robotic and conventional lap teams at one hospital. The robotic team had far more experience but still had higher average blood loss. The FDA has also warned the company about malfunctions, such as arcing, which can burn the patient. The hospital staff was my concern too. I hadn’t really thought about the details since I’m bot yet seriously considering it. I guess I’d stay there for a couple weeks then get follow up care here.

Paparazzi, nosy neighbors and hotel staff, convenience. And the escort might talk.. The spa staff, many of whom are new to the US, are unlikely to recognize some random rich guy. I understand your frustration but he’s not the first celeb who was caught soliciting P4P due to carelessness. Take Hugh Grant.

In that case, I think it’s fine to keep yours up too.

The problem is that almost every surgeon used the robot for surgery because it’s a lot easier than the backbreaking work of removing benign masses for hours of end. I’m not a fan of robotic; it means more and larger incisions and studies say it causes more problems. I’d far prefer conventional laparoscopy done by hand but so few surgeons in the U.S. do it for this procedure. After reading the research, the best surgical teams out there are in Taiwan and South Korea. But it would be crazy to go there if I don’t speak the language, right? The doctors there publish in English FWIW.

I have a commercially desirable number too. Back when I bought my first cell phone, I had a tech issue that went unsolved for months while my carrier gave me the runaround. When I finally got a high level exec on the line, he told me I needed a new number. He gave me a good number for my trouble. That said, I can see why you’d wonder if it was forwarding to another number and why. I I’d definitely stay on your toes if you contact that guy.

On second thought, it’s not all bad. (Click on second gif with lots of dogs.) [MEDIA=twitter]1099185892034531328[/MEDIA]

Is it true that laparoscopic surgery is easier on bigger patients? A surgeon on Quora said that while anesthesia might be more challenging, the extra space helps with instrument placement. I had hoped that being smaller might help.

Hard to believe people still do this in Manhattan of all places. They’ll be Twitter famous before long.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. That is absolutely awful that your surgeon ignored the warming. I’m glad you were able to settle with them. I’m in a similar dilemma regarding a device used in this procedure. If you have stage 1 cancer, this device sprays it around and turned it into stage 3. The cancer can sometimes be detected in advance but not always. Depending on whom you believe, chances are between 1/500 and 1/1000. In any case, most of the prominent surgeons are still using the device but with precautions. Even without the device, the surgery carries some risk. I’ve spent 3 1/2 years trying to avoid it but I’m left with no choice. [uSER=10623]@MassageGuy[/uSER] , glad you got it right with your hernia surgery. I’m hoping to find that very type of surgeon. @rvwnsd “Brilliant and caring” is ideal. Maybe I’ll be that lucky. @instudiocity That’s hilarious.

I’ll be honest: One of my priorities is to minimize visible scars. I learned that one prominent lapo surgeon at a major research hospital has been doing this procedure with a single small incision in some cases. They’ve done only 25 cases this way but I’m ok with being a guinea pig. I meet their criteria except that the largest mass is 1 mm larger than their recommended size limit. It’s worth asking though. Thanks, @Geriatric Otter , and welcome to the forum!. I think you’re right about volume trumping age. The only issue is that the guy I’m thinking of IS preparing to quit, from what patients say. .

@g56whiz I’m glad you found a great sub-spec for the stents. That is exactly the dilemma I’m facing—the 70 y.o. who does this very thing all day vs a younger surgeon who spends more time on an related but easier surgery. @BaronArtz Thanks for the well wishes. I wish I could let doctors do the qualifying. Unfortunately, they can only make general recommendations, sometimes from secondhand info. As with escorts, painters tax accountants, etc, you need to find out for yourself. @nycman You make a good point. When I asked my GP to ask his colleague about Dr Jones, he replied “My colleague also likes Dr Jones,” which wis not a strong recommendation. @Rudynate , you’re right that for something like gall bladder surgery, it would b3 hard to beat Kaiser. interestingly, I have yet to hear of any names there . And I will definitely ask about how incisions are closed.

I’m unsure of what you’re getting at. IMO it’s pretty jerky to show up someplace uninvited and then impose rules on people. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Buffing can give the nails a shiny look, just like clear polish. Some guys don’t like that.

I know, right? This is similar. https://www.komaproducts.com/dicky-chug-sports-bottle-big-pink/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_K_A4b2_4AIVhvhkCh0fWgnIEAkYASABEgI06PD_BwE About Spacey, sounds like the women at the party we kind of miffed.

? Nothing wrong with liking younger men but it’s odd for a celeb to show up at a college party uninvited. Can you imagine if a male celeb showed up at a random sorority party?

This is perfectly legal, but it’s presumptuous to show up at a random party uninvited and tell people not to take pictures. Kevin Spacey 'showed up uninvited to college party in 2015 and spent the night trying to swap cell phone numbers with male students' and ignored girls who tried to speak to him, says eyewitness A student at Towson University recalled the time Kevin Spacey showed up uninvited to a party on campus in 2015 Spacey allegedly spent the night talking to young men and ignoring women who tried to speak to him He also tried to swap phone numbers with the men at the party according to the eyewitness Spacey spent a lot of time around the campus while filming House of Cards This happened a year before he allegedly groped a teen at a Nantucket bar in July 2016 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6701779/Kevin-Spacey-showed-uninvited-college-party-spent-night-trying-swap-cell-numbers.html
