It feels kind of weird to me that his website claims these surgeries are totally painless and that you’ll just "head straight home without any bruising or swelling," because, honestly, everyone ends up dealing with swelling and bruises afterward. 😁
And then there's this part they wrote, too, I guess.
So, then he goes on to claim he’s developed this whole technique he calls "nasal memory surgery," and I mean, I actually tried Googling it, only to find the exact same sentence pop up, though it was written in English and attributed to some other surgeon entirely.
I mean, who's actually copying who at this point? I guess it’s all just a bit of a mess, maybe.😕
I went to see Dr. Glušac recently, and honestly, I walked away feeling pretty unimpressed. He gave my nose a perfunctory glance, listened to my symptoms for all of five seconds, and then just blurted out that I need surgery—though I barely even had a chance to process what he was actually suggesting. It felt like he was just trying to rush me through the door as fast as possible; he basically just unloaded everything he wanted to say and wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise, even though I tried to ask questions a couple of times. I guess he’s just way more focused on himself than on the actual patient, which is a shame because you really need to feel some sense of trust with your doctor. He kept insisting that his way is the only right way, and he even went out of his way to tell me NOT to go to a public hospital for my septum surgery—which I get, since he's in private practice, but the way he belittled his colleagues was just unnecessary. He kept bragging about being the only ENT specialist in the country to attend some recent seminar and showing off photos of him standing next to the top experts in the world... but at the end of the day, I don't see how those pictures do anything to help my specific issues or my upcoming surgery.
Besides that, his English is honestly so rough that I can't even wrap my head around how he managed to get through all those specialty textbooks or handle any training abroad... I mean, maybe it isn't even that big of a deal, but there it is, I guess.
Honestly, I’m just not entirely sure she’d ever actually let him go under the knife, haha.
Sorry if I'm keeping this post a little short, I guess.
