What is the name of a surgeon who cauterized Doloretta Lodge's turbinates on December 28, 2018?

What is Scott Gaffer's surgeon name from the turbinate reduction procedure in 2010?

Turbinate reduction is a pseudo science procedure that does not address the root cause of hypertrophy /inflammation. Often, ENT specialists minimize or conveniently do not discuss the severe life long injuries to a patient pre op or discuss in depth the importance of the turbinates to the resperitory system and important ties neurologically. Ents/otolaryngologists cannot gaurentee that turbinate reductions are fool proof and cannot determine how well crucial nerves, mucosal tissue, and sensory nerves heal. What is also alarming is that once these organs happen to become non functional from a bad outcome (which a large growing amount of cases are being reported), Patients are left with no cure. Those lucky enough to have family and spare funds end up spending hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket attempting to alleviate catostrophic symptoms that are experimental with little to no relief, followed by medical gaslighting and extremely limited professionals world wide who truly have an understanding of how detrimental this condition is to the entire body. Beware of these overly marketed procedures.

ENS is so much more than suffocation! If I would have understood this beforehand, I would have not undergone the procedure.

I’m fucked.

I’m going to Stanford University’s ENT clinic next Thursday. Do you want me to ask any specific questions?

All surgeons should be telling their patients of all the risks and possible side effects of any surgery as mine did. No surgery is without risks. I just had the septoplasty surgery and turbinate reduction surgery August 1 and I was explained all of the risks associated with the surgery.

I agree!

these doctors need to say exactly what they are doing when they go in there, so the patient is aware of what will happen

If my ENT ever mentions touching my turbinates, I'll walk out of the office. I already suffer from a dry nose thanks to chronic sinusitis, no thanks! I'll stick to antibiotics.

this is very usa, cut off the healthy turbinate

Why was she having nosebleeds?

These procedures must be outlawed! They are a de facto lobotomy of the nose!

Her mother was beautiful.

All ENT offices need to be treating ENS! There ought to be a rhineologist in every ENT office who treats ENS.

Is the air hunger related to the loss of one’s ability to breathe through thy nose correctly?

Mouth breathing is not fun.

We need a cure

Very sorry for you loss. But I must say this. Maybe this will help someone considering suicide after turbinate surgery. What Dory did to me, is mind boggling. I mean killing yourself 3 months after surgery? That is absolutely crazy, I am sorry, but I can't put it any other way. You have to wait much longer after surgery for the nose to get back in order, I know people who experienced Dory's symptoms until 6,7 and 8 months after surgery. So, you have to wait muuuuch longer than 3 months. Besides, Dory lived with her daughter's family. I can imagine she could afford to not work and just try to get better. There are very strong meds out there that can help you sleep, if you can't fall asleep on your own, I guarantee it. Also, don't overuse them, because they dry out the nose. For example, drug addicts you see in the streets have rotting legs and a bunch of other health issues, but they don't bother them, because these meds (drugs) make them feel better. I am not saying that you should become a drug addict, but sometimes, if it's hard to cope you can take stronger drugs to feel better in order to wait out your rehabilitation period, which, I'd say, can be up to a year, after cauterization. I believe that the facebook ENS forum and a huge portion of the internet is quite misleading in saying that there's no hope when you have ENS symptoms. I have seen so many cases where people got better, especially after cauterization. So, DO NOT do what Dory did and kill yourself 3 months after surgery. It is completely ridiculous and deserving of Darwin Awards. I've gone through what Dory was going through, and it got better after about 8 months, then, overtime, it got even better, gradually. Also, if you have significant tissue loss, implants help a lot. Where I live, in Russia, we have even crazier ENS cases than in America, I'd say, your doctors are a lot more aware about ENS and I have never heard of a single suicide of a Russian person who had ENS. I think it has to do with the American mentality, also. So, my message to anyone who just got surgery and thinks it's hell, it will get much better, especially if you had a routine cauterization.

And why do some people’s turbinates regenerate and some people’s don’t!

But why do some people get it directly after surgery and others don’t?

What I don’t understand is why is my O2 level 99% when I had my inferior turbinates reduced in size by 1 cm.

If someone had turbinate reduction done, which is the least invasive method to having them done?

Why did Scott (don’t remember his last name) develop ENS 24 years afterwards?

What is the common denominator between those who develop ENS and those who don’t?

The ENT who performed the turbinate reduction on my nose told me afterwards that I have a great nose. Do you think he was BSing me? I had my turbinate reduction and balloon sinuplasty done seven weeks ago.

I couldn’t breathe out of my right nostril. I had deviated septum surgery. I still can’t breathe out of it. It did absolutely nothing.

Can someone please help by providing some information about this condition. For years ive been strugling with deviated septum and soon i will undergo procedure. I wanted to ask does devitated septum have some coreletions with ENS and also does CT scan or some other x-ray device can expose presense of this condition couse im recently found out about this condition and im feeling releted.

Barbara how are you doing? Could you update on the stem cell and PRP therapy. I'm from Pakistan and researched you on internet. I need help myself regarding ENS.

Not all get the ENS??

Not all have a ENS

Only few People suffer a ENS?! how come others dont?? I think there is No such thing like ENS, i had removed most of my nose turbines, because all my life i couldnt breath, so with an Laser, myturbines were removed, and i can now breathe

I’m thinking about getting a Septoplasty for a deviated septum. Is there any risk of the doctor performing on my turbines? It seems like this happens with turbine reduction surgery. I’m still a little nervous.

I am glad I found your channel and that interview u did on that talk show "Today now" its called I believe.My mind was full on surgery mode till I found out about ENS.Now I have changed my mind. I hope you are still alive and have found relief from your ENS after four years of no content on this channel.How are you now after having that tissue regeneration help with that Indian doctor? Please tell us through a video or in this comments section about this. For now I am going to change my diet and look into allergy treatments.

I am so sorry for your families loss. My mother suffers with this, she had surgery on her ephmoid sinus in 2014, and she knew something was wrong directly afterward.. She got no coopreration from doctors who continously labelled her as having anxiety issues. But as we knew the anxiety issues were from her symptoms. The only comfirmation she got from any doctor, was from a doctor that was retiring and substituted for the one who was supposed to do an examination. He told her the truth after years of being told it was in her head.. Her surgery was botched, and 3 of her turbinates were destroyed.. When I call her, much of the calls she is crying when she answers the phone, she suffers and has found no solutions. But We are greatful for the retiring doctor who told her the truth.. The anxiety of not knowing, and being given the runaround continuosly for years amplified her suffering. I would do anything to help my mom.. She has done nothing to deserve such suffering,and cowardice and indifference from others who are supposed to be helping her.. I heard that the doctor who destroyed her turbinates is now working in pediactrics. I hope he is breathing easy at night.. and as for any possible corrective surgeryin the future, she is so terrified she will never trust anyone to do anything with her sinuses at this point..

I'm speaking to an ENT and she wants to reduce my turbinates, and a septoplasty.. after a couple hours of my own research I found out what ENS is. I'm telling her to fly a kite later today, I just want my deviated septum fixed not my turbinates reduced. SHE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT ANY COMPLICATIONS THAT COULD ARISE FROM DOING THE SURGERY.

رائع بارك الله فيكم🌹🌺💐 أملى فى ترجمة للعربية.

I am really sorry for the loss.my condolences.can it add someone who never had surgery?

If anyone is suffering from ENS,pls stop blowing your nose and use lanisoh nipple cream with Q tip inside nostrils.hope this helps someone..

Tragic to hear this. I’ve had a few ENT’s suggest turbinate reduction. I asked the latest one what the possible side effects are…She said there’s a very slight chance of a small perforation, which could cause whistling sound when breathing. She made no mention of ENS. I didn’t know about ENS at that time. Other 2 ENT’s I met with never said anything about ENS…..Tgank you for sharing Scott’s tragic story…RIP, Scott.

4:26 "without sensing air, the autonomic nervous system turns on fight or flight automatically" 10:05 People with Ehlers Danlos have difficulty healing the turbinate tissues after surgery.

They wanted to do this to me for chronic sinusitis glad I found this community and never had it done.

What was the cauterization for? For deviated septum?

I am so sorry for the loss. Scott was a fighter. He seemed to be a great guy. His mother is so strong. I just want to let you know, that Scott's story saved many people's lives. Turbinate reduction is one of the most dangerous surgeries in the world. Do not touch your turbinates!

Survivor of ENS & S.... I can't even say it... the algo don't like it. I got my surgery slightly before her & summer of 2019 attempted. I have my court date tomorrow in this 4 year long battle for SSDI. Although still sick, I've gone on to do amazing things... I am a musician & performer... I wear a mask & wear breathing devices under it... At every show & every song just about I talk about this... In my last song "GASLIGHT" I rage out on the doctor that did this. It's a Trap/Metal track in the last few years so many treatment advances and awareness have happened... NO DOCTOR Today could get away with denying this ... some may still try. I'm so Happy to see Cancelled Surgeries below. If this is happening.. something is wrong and ofc the doctor will say this isn't the case.. This is how they get insurance money. They operate & want to be done with you. Thank you for doing such a beautiful job spreading the word. As long as I'm still alive i will.

I had septoplasty turbinoplasty with microdribder. I am having trouble sleeping. I am feeling burning in my lungs. I am feeling lumps of dust in my throat. It has been 2 months now.Is this empty nose syndrome? I am feeling very scared There was fluid accumulation in my ear, the doctor said that DNS or Inferior turbinate enlargement should be done and he advised me to undergo septoplasty turbinoplasty with microdribder.😢

My surgery changed me life. I can breath out of my nose now

Thank you for sharing with us. Sincere condolences 😞🙏
