    Condolences to the family of this woman and a big thank you to the editor for making these videos bringing much needed action/awarness when it comes to unnecessary nasal turbinate procedures. Glad to see that the public is starting to become more aware of the the lies and dangers that are not truthfully discussed to patients pre operation.

    This ENT surgeon butchered Antonio Jacinto gave him severe ENS afterwards he gaslighted him saying he had only mental problems.
    Here is the link to the article:
    www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/le-medecin-toujours-entre-la-vie-et-la-mort-08-11-2001-2002570238.php?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1SBBWlfyaX7noxrm8nykAl_FiserVMtev4t320HQzSu7CLGZ0VAxJJ_Z4_aem_OrvTnMnkWEyqNU2AEFldQw#1aqx4ibteir
    And here is the English translation
    THE ENT ENT DOCTOR was seriously injured by a bullet to the chest on Tuesday evening in his medical office on Avenue de Flandre (19th arrondissement), and is still between life and death (our edition from yesterday). At the Beaujon Hospital’s intensive care unit where he was admitted, doctors are refusing to make any predictions about his chances of survival. Investigators from the second division of the judicial police (DPJ) are trying to understand what led his assailant, a 41-year-old man who took his own life immediately after the act with a 6.35 caliber automatic pistol, to act in such a manner. Within twenty-four hours, their investigations revealed that Antonio Jacinto, who lived only a hundred meters from the practitioner’s office, blamed the specialist for treating him poorly. He had even initiated legal proceedings against him.
    “The doctor lunged at him as he brandished his pistol”
    A patient who was present in Dr. Christian Hamman’s office at the time of the incident and was himself hit by a bullet in the foot recounts: “I was in the doctor’s chair when he entered. I heard a first shot. Then, the doctor lunged at him as he brandished his pistol. A second shot went off, and that’s when the doctor collapsed. In the meantime, the shooter had time to say: I told you I would get you. I then found myself face to face with him. We stared at each other, eye to eye. I thought he was going to kill me, but he raised the hand holding the weapon, pressed the barrel against his temple, began to sweat, and then fired. It was only a quarter of an hour later that I realized I had been hit in the ankle.”
    Dr. Gérard Zeiger, President of the Paris Medical Council, was unaware of the dispute: “The council had never received any complaint from this patient, but that doesn’t diminish the dramatic nature of this affair. I am stunned by what happened. We had the sorrow of losing a colleague a few years ago, but it was not in the same context. She had been attacked by a drug addict.” Dr. Zeiger is concerned about the aggressiveness of patients towards doctors: “The assaults are mostly verbal, but they are repetitive and eventually wear down the practitioners. They are also sometimes physical. A young emergency doctor was attacked twice in two days recently. Her equipment was stolen.” He believes this violence is not exclusive to the followers of Hippocrates: “I have been practicing in the capital for thirty-four years, and the situation is deteriorating more and more. A few years ago, in very degraded neighborhoods like the Îlot Châlon or in the slums, we could intervene without danger. That is no longer the case today. There is no longer any respect for the doctor who nevertheless comes to provide care.”

    The following is a question that I think all people thinking of undergoing a septoplasty and/or turbinate reduction operation/procedure ought to ponder:
    What has or would Serena Williams done or do? Serena Williams is not God, but the woman is or was successful in her career and she suffers from sinusitis.

      Sorry I don’t know who she is.let’s hope she don’t do any turbinate, sinus, nasal valve surgery or septoplasty. Worst place in the human body except brain that can have surgery performed to it . Actually it is like operating on the brain since it’s operation on the autonomous nervous system. Many are stuck in sympathetic dominance for ever after after surgery to these areas.

      There are other celebrities who have gotten these surgeries and claim that it was the best thing they ever did. Mike Rowe, for instance, has talked about his surgery, or Joe Rogan. Both have had this surgery and claimed it was successful. Comparing yourself to Serena Williams isn't helpful. What really needs to happen is really warnings around the real, severe risks of this surgery. It is not on us to have protected ourselves from DOCTORS who are meant to help people become healthier. We are victims through-and-through. If there were a surgery on the spine that might make you run faster, have more energy and strength, with high success rates and low risks would you consider it? The answer for many people would be yes, especially if they had issues with walking or running. But what if you told those people "there's a 20% chance this surgery will leave you paralyzed in a wheelchair"...would they still consider the surgery? Probably not. This is the conundrum of sinus surgeries today.

    The problem is in the Head, oversensitivity, not all patiens get ENS

    • @evelynhernandez7106
      @evelynhernandez7106 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Ok so if it’s in our heads you do this surgery and remember to tell
      Them to outfracture it and leave it very opened and then you tell me if it’s in your head only

      Reported. Lack of respect for deceased and misinformation. Your ignorance clearly shows you have no idea how an essential turbinate nasal organs are. Ents unnecessarily tamper with these organs with surgical tools can lead to life long devastating complications which they continue to not disclose thoroughly to the public.
      Maybe you should get your head checked for making a sad attempt to ridicule people that have passed away and suffered greatly.

    • @RichardMaassen
      @RichardMaassen 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not everyone gets ENS, that is correct. Apart from that you comment is wrong. There are over 100 scientific studies on ENS showing that it is a real problem. We even have brain scans showing it.
      I don't know why you would write such bullshit.

      The problem is the surgery. Not all patients get ENS, sure. But some have negative consequences not classified as ENS. And nasal congestion isn't a serious enough condition to justify this amputation and the damage to what remains. The risk is too great for an elective surgery. Plus the logic that partly removing and damaging a useful organ will improve overall health seems pretty flawed to me.

    12/16/2014, Melisa Champion, Canada. Testimony of a Quebecer suffering Empty Nose Syndrome.
    [ 00:00:00 ] Well, hello everyone. My name is Melissa Champion. I'm from Quebec. I've also been suffering from empty nose syndrome (ENS) for seven years now. I had my turbinectomy in 2007. I had no idea what they were going to do to me. I would have never thought that it would lead to such consequences. So, well, here we are after my turbinectomy, and I'm starting to have some very serious symptoms.
    [ 00:00:42 ] Nasal pain, crusting, not possible (=much), dryness, everything that goes with it. It was from this moment that I started to worry a little. I consulted a little everywhere, the doctors, specialists... Took tests of this, tests of that...
    [ 00:01:12 ] No result. Became a little desperate. The problem is that in empty nose syndrome (ENS) there is no test to measure and prove with certainty the disease. Unfortunately, the doctors and ENT specialists are unaware of it, they often ignore that such consequences can occur because of a simple sinus surgery.
    [ 00:01:44 ] Also a patient can, for example, have a partial turbinectomy on one of the turbinates and not develop any symptoms, and another person may have a turbinectomy on two-thirds of his turbinates and develop dramatic symptoms that will break his life forever, which is my case. So, it is very difficult for these doctors to measure and see who can have ENS and who does not have this syndrome. It is very complicated since there is nothing to measure. Otherwise, we can pass a scanner of the sinus that proves that resection of the turbinates indeed happened. And then we can do a nasopharyngoscopy, the long one that we pass through the nose to the larynx, that's all.
    [ 00:02:43 ] From this manner they will be able to see. But even by seeing the report with these exams, they may, well, say that the turbinates are indeed resected, but... That's all. And then they do nothing. They prefer to close their eyes to the problem, since it is a mistake and they know it, of course, that in

    principle, we should not touch the nasal turbinates which have the primary role of protect All the body. And so, when they meet a patient who has ENS, well, they prefer to close the eyes. They will say, "Well, no, listen, madam, I'm sorry for what you're going through, but we don't really see the connection.
    Do the rinses nasal, take medicines that will help you help".
    [ 00:03:41 ] But then we don't get any answers anywhere. So suddenly, we are abandoned by all the system of health. It is dramatic. We are not believed. We are pushed aside a bit. We are told that it is in our head, which is not true, because if it was in our head, when you are sick you physically feel the pain; it is not in the head, alas.
    [ 00:04:10 ] So, there he to pass, their favorite “ignore it”, close the eyes. And then move on, wash your hands of it. And then what is dramatic in all this is that there is currently no solution to ENS. Otherwise, there are Alloderm implants which we do not know if they work. Apparently it has been proven that they work on certain patients and on certain other patients it doesn't work. There are also injections with A-cell. There have been several trials, but unfortunately, still the same uncertainty. Because of the ENS, we must understand that not all ENS patients have all the same symptoms. And we must also know that in ENS, there are several degrees of degradation.
    [ 00:05:16 ] This syndrome must be understood as degenerative. It degenerates over time and the symptoms are getting worse. Other symptoms end to appear as well. So there are several degrees and it is impossible to measure by concrete tests, at what degree a patient is located in relation to a stage 1 going up to 5 stages, for example.
    [ 00:05:44 ] So, it's very complicated technologically and specifically, medically, to find a real solution for all cases of ENS. So, it remains a very complicated problem. So, for me, this video is really to warn you, my dear friends, that if you are being offered a turbinectomy or sinus surgery and are in doubt, please ask questions and really think before you do one. Such an act, which will perhaps break all your life and there will be nothing to do really, there will be nothing to do. Alas. So, I am now totally disabled because of the ENS. And since 2012, I have had to fight, survive with my [disordered] breathing… I developed asthma. It’s very difficult. My trachea, dryness, pain in my lungs. It may not appear because I’m learning to control everything a little bit. I’m going to drink a little there (sips some water). So, it is that, drink a lot. And so my aim is to prevent [future cases of ENS]. There you go. Don't have them do to your nose anything.
    [ 00:07:21 ] It may seem trivial, a simple nose is not much. Well, yeah, it is a lot, a lot. Believe me, it protects your entire organism. And then if we break what you know as vital, well then, it is finished, irreversible. The turbinates cannot repel [pathogens]. And he there is nothing that can replace their function within the body.
    [ 00:08:00 ] So, really for me, I do this video by empathy because ENS is not [fully] revealed, we do not talk about it. Doctors prefer to turn a blind eye to this problem, they prefer to wash their hands of it because they know very well that it is a serious mistake, but they continue to do it and they do it. It is disgusting to say but they do it simply for the money.
    [ 00:08:26 ] And then they keep destroying lives since not all develop ENS after such surgery. So for them, it's a bit of gambling. We make money, we operate, we take the guess whether the patient develops it or not. If he develops it, too bad, we wash our hands of it, we do nothing.
    [ 00:08:54 ] So, that's the drama. So, here's what I wasn't told that may happen the moment when I am operated. They may say nothing. They may say, «We replace your septum and then there will be no consequences. You will feel better. You will breathe well. There is no risk of long-term complications. Really, Mrs, that is worth the [surgery] risk, blah, blah, blah». I was fooled. Please don't make my mistake. Think, do research. Ask questions. Also, it's important to get a second opinion. Go see another ENT and ask them, "I am about to have such a surgery. I would like to know if there are any consequences. I doubt it. I'm a little scared. All that. I saw that such and such a consequence can be possible, is it true? I ask for a second opinion." And then, if you want to know more, there is a group on facebook. I am on facebook. There is a whole ENS association [on facebook].
    [ 00:10:19 ] We are a whole group. We give each other advice. We support each other morally. We share the names of doctors who are good, and all that. It's worth it. So, my Facebook is MEL, like the first three letters of my name Melissa, mel ens 6, the number six, at hotmail dot com. So I'm here, I accept everyone who wants information on ENS. Also, I have my website. So, you can visit a blog which is melensblog.wordpress.com. So here it is, I will be happy to answer your questions. There will be my whole pedigree, my whole story, also in relation to everything I have experienced medically in relation to the ENS. And in Quebec in particular, I wanted to make this video because many of us experience ENS here, but many are unaware of it. Because of that the doctors are going say "You have a rhinitis, you have rhinosinusitis, you have allergies” - all kinds of bogus stuff like that that we're going to tell you. But it's not true. It's the ENS.
    [ 00:11:56 ] I discovered ENS through Christopher Martin's book, which you can buy online through Amazon. And then when I discovered it, there was no one who believed [in ENS], and then I had to do [a lot] of research. I came across the association of empty nose syndrome (ENS) in France. And then I was surprised. I read all the symptoms, all the stuff.
    [ 00:12:28 ] When I read my surgical report, I saw that I had a turbinectomy on almost all of my turbinates. I know. That's when I understood the nature of all my symptoms over all these years, plus late that this summer 2014. For that reason, I wanted make a big warning to be careful because once it's done, it's too late.
    [ 00:13:05 ] So really, I invite you to Facebook. I invite you to visit my blog. Come in large numbers. Read if you are interested. It is important to pass the message, to denounce, to reveal that [ENS] exists, that it is not normal to become ill following sinus surgery, that no, [ENS] will not pass.
    [ 00:13:34 ] And then no, there is nothing to do. So be careful… I hope that my message will make it to you, among the Quebec residents in particular, and everywhere in the world, also French-speaking countries.
    [ 00:13:58 ] Thank you for listening to this 14-minute video, we'll see you on Facebook and on my blog. Thank you to have listened. I had to do this video for prevention. I will keep you informed if there is any news, if there is something that works, if we find the miracle cure for ENS.
    [ 00:14:33 ] So there you have it. See you soon.
