Senior Member HLPToronto Posted April 2, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2019 At 0.45, clinic's own video advertising their high tech nurse implanting grafts on a " celebrity client" Kyle Christie who is sleeping most probably. This is UK's highly reputed clinic - Dr. Kumari with a famous celeb getting his HT done. A sneeze, cough, cold, saliva, eyes, nose, face everything is exposed right on top of wounded head. I mean more than 2000 slits OPEN wounds , just freshly opened, no microscopes, lenses, helmets, face covered . Only good thing I could see are gloves at the least. Highest chances to spread infection, sickness or even HIV if somehow blood from one's body goes into any of those open wounds. I 'm just surprised to see this and thought of sharing/asking the community as this is still a common practice today in majority of Turkish assembly line clinics even the rated ones like Dr. Cinik's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member alex79 Posted April 2, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2019 Having had 2 HTs, I wouldn't have liked to have my face covered during such a long operation. I belive though your medical concerns are valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at this video I posted, at 00.45 seconds.... it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine to accept or not to accept HIV + patients but his clinic and most others in Turkey post their own pics displaying no surgical masks. Zero precautionary measures to avoid infections when you are working on open wounds. No wonder why some people catch infections after HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mind boggling to accept the fact that even in 2019, majority of clinics posting their own pics/videos like these ones. Shouldn't medical board or IAHRS introduce some strict standards for HT surgery, yes it is a " surgery " on the most important piece of your body " head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
