The problem with looking for stories of "bad experiences" is that most people don't wish to re-hash their bad experiences over and over again. I for one feel that way.
Most everyone here is familiar with my ordeal in Bangkok (see "escape from Bangkok" thread). But I don't put all the blame on my surgeon for what happened to me. Much of it had to do with my body getting infected, which I may have already had when I got there for all we know. All I can say is that perhaps the outcome would have been different had I been in the Pryviate <sp> hospital instead of my surgeon's clinic. But we will never know for sure.
I agree with the suggestion that the OP search around and create a short list of surgeons that she feels right with. Then she can gather data on each individual surgeon by asking questions or researching surgery results.
I for one will not post a "gripe" about my surgeon, nor will I recommend him to others.
