I had a telephone consultation for Mittal and got completely put off by the salesman, his patter was straight out of an East End pub. Loads of nonsense “how often do you drink”, “I don’t”, “not good enough, we need to pump those numbers up!”, “what about cigs?”, “I quit last year”, “why on earth would you do that, my Dr said I’d die from shock if I quit smoking - I’m on a 20/20/10 diet, 10 coffees a day, 20 beers a day and 20 fags a day”.
Then he started going on about how his mates say he’s like Ricky Gervais and started to practice his comedy routine on me.
It was truly a bizzare experience, I felt like I was on some sort of prank call show.
I’m off to Harley Street tomorrow for consultations with Wimpole and HSHC. I’m unlikely to go with HSHC as I can’t find anything about their surgeon Dr Vida. Dr Dayah from Wimpole looks promising though!
I had a telephone call with Dr Moussa and he seemed very professional if a bit conservative with with number of grafts, his experience as a neurosurgeon was reassuring though.
