TahoeAK-
I made my first post to L&AirC today and I curse you for ever introducing this site to me...it is long and will make for good bedtime reading. I don't know if I am going to enter in the fight against the Houston Doc just yet, any guy that puts his real picture in these things has issues and should be feared.
You have passed your own addiction onto an unsuspecting innocent and now you will pay.
CP
Nice one.....
Nice to see you here.......
I got 130 rom yesterday....crutches taken away...spinning etc. Knee feels really good....Thnx!! Quad is coming back to life..Day 16 today...

You have to search all posts before posting the topic. Otherwise you lose all credibility.
Meanwhile you go on to question Dr. Marks free time, which has already rather insignificantly been solved. He has a laptop and time between surgeries.
Finally, is there something you want to know, or are u just posting to get us all stirred up?
Shouldnt you be asking us what our experiences are? We all enjoy sharing them....
Dude...dont call me dude...thats a west coast word....You live in Philly...
Lets end this thread...it is purley a waste of time.....
I should have not started it to begin with. It was just a simple question.
Drmark is cutting edge and thats it. He does not need to waste his time with this either. After further research he is legit, just really cutting edge like his assoc., Shelbourne, etc. There are many good docs out there with many opions. Good for drmark for getting after it.
My appologies for even starting this thread.....even to drmark...
apology accepted.
Peace be with you.
Apology accepted on behalf of all office mucking city slicking east coasters who wished they lived in the mountains.Quote:

That said, he is still too busy to post on this site, but he has about 10 Grad assistants who would do it for him in a heartbeat. Watch the movie Brazil sometime...the part where they are in the office and the big boss is in the middle of about 20 lackeys. It looks like the bunch ball my 7 yo calls soccer. That is Shelbourne...he is an awesome doc surrounded by very smart people, I was at his first presentation of the contralateral graft in Hilton Head and he was booed by his peers. It is nice to see that he perservered and now leads discussions and roundtables at the Academy.

That's probably why his name includes tahoe and ak. A thread that had gently died away as it should have doesn't need to be brought back by some moron blathering nonsensical crap about 25 year old movies.Quote:

Sounds like a lot of people have too much time on their hands.
All information is important some where some how. If it isn't important to a reader, the reader doesn't have to use it.
This thread, though not anything to brag about, is also the thread (as far as I can tell), to get TahoeCP posting. His first post was to me and he had great/important info for me. Probably not to a lot of other people.
I think drmark would agree if his being challenged (and publicly apologized to) did someone some good, he'd do it again. Look at drmarks picture. His skins so thick his hair can't even grow out of it!
This thread also made the current and new members aware that drmark is credible and an asset to this site. It should be required reading to join the forum.
Personally, I'm glad TahoeCP joined. Seems to me that TahoeAK is a decent guy to that had something gnawing at him and needed to get it off his chest.
One of my favorite bumper stickers is "Speak your mind even if your voice shakes."
Favorite quote from American History is (words to the effect of "I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death so you have the right to say it."
Lets play nice,

Based on the way Dr. Mark presents himself, and even after defending him in this thread, I will say I think he's an arrogant fuck fishing for business and truly doesn't have a clue of what is is to be a maggot.
He gave me totally bullshit advice, but, hey, that's just me.
You guys glean from him whatever helps you.
I told you before I don't care for bad language. You have used profane words at least 8 times in your last two posts relateing to this an Tiger's knee surgery. If I hadn't remembered that you said you broke you back in 1984, I would have thought you to be a high school student, and would have just ignored you. But you are an older person just like me. Why don't you try to act that way. This is a sports related website, not a pornographic one, and this post is being viewed by children. Please help set an example for them.
I believe it would be in your best interest to understand the tone of this forum a bit better.Quote:

Not everyone thinks as I do.
If you looked around a bit more, you'd get the hang of this place better. You'd know who's who as in who to take seriously and who not to. You'd understand the language some people use to communicate and whether or not to take that language personally.
Skipping the "understand the place" step is why some are accusing you of an ulterior motive for posting. I'm not the first to suggest you get to know the forums better, but I hope to be the last. The above post shows that you have not taken that advice at all.
Very tangentially, every maggot and Squaw patroller (about 10) who's MRI was done at the imaging center I read for in Reno has been done gratis. I did not take a penny from them and I did whatever I could to make sure they didn't pay any fee to the center either.
There are two fees for radiology services: the radiologist reading fee and the technical fee to perform the exam.
.
JimS - I think you are awesome. Not because you read my MRI at your office. I was on my way to the doctor's office where he had the report anyways. But because you offered to do so gratis at the level of maggot brotherhood. Your intentions were so pure and generous, I became your biggest fan that day and I'd do anything for you in return, bro.Quote:

Dr. Mark is getting reamed for making arrogant, tough guy comments that are made in haste. When called on it, he breaks out his morality card and remains in denial. I don't buy into that for a second and if the boy wants a fight, well....I think he has issues and should seek some professional help of another nature.
Some of the postsI have referred to......Woodlandclown caught what I mean.

I do this because I feel that is a way for me to show my appreciation and reciprocity to those who make try to maintain & build the stoke and enthusiam for skiing/snowoboarding as well as progression of the sport. I consider it an honor and privilege to care for them (you).
Your friend,

PS: You can make it up to me my arranging for some hookahs 'n' blo'.
I am a tough guy and I wish you were within arms reach right now and this comment is NOT made in haste. And I couldn't care less it you invented snow. But, I don't use profanity or X-rated language. We live in a civilized society and chldren may be reading what is being written here.
If you want to curse me out, please do it on a PM, or come and meet me face to face You know my name and where I live.
So violence is okay, but profanity is out?Quote:

You need to avoid vulgar language in public. I am waiting for your PMs, and will be happy to wait untily your leg recovers for anything else, but I will be happy to let it all go by the wayside if you watch your language on anything but PMs.
^^^ imploding right before our eyes
narcisistic little prick aint he? i think splat should challenge Dr. Mark in a ski off--way more kid friendly than fistacuffs and splat could take him with one leg i bet.
Woodlandclown, you too are a vulgar person?
Hard to imagine who would want to dance with you?
And, I though you had parents........
Can't anyone control their language?

Fuck fuckety fuck fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
It´s interesting, like others have said, that semi-threats of violence are considered OK by you, DrMark, but profanity is not? Is this part of the Texan doctrine? Bible thumping jackass. Sorry about playing the Texan card, I know there are a bunch of you on TGR that are good guys(and gals).
Wouldn´t want you as my doctor, nor would I want to work with you. At first, I thought it was great that you took your time to contribute to this forum in particular.
I really believe you should quit posting on TGR for a while, at least until you´ve taken bklyn´s recent advice to your heart. Either you stay here and stop whining about profanity and vulgar language, and give your advice for what it´s worth - it´s still allowed to be a narcissist prick - or you get the fuck out and stay the fuck out.
I am a vulgar Norwegian and very proud of it.
^^^ SHit fuck balls tits
The above comment convinced me that I have no place contributing to this site. I will check it for time to time for those respectable folks that PM me.
... and .... kaboom

Well done folks. That was a knowledgeable and very helpful resource that no one here ever benefited from. Good thing you proved how powerful you are by chasing him off.
So now the maggots can claim VICTORY! Won the battle but lost the war. But at least you proved how you can band together and make it so uncomfortable for someone that they no longer wish to post. Have you ever considered who's going to provide the info he was? Even if you didn't agree with it, it would make you think and usually cause research or a debate.
I didn't much care for everything drmark said, or Splat for that matter, but as I stated in the past, everyone is entitled to speak; right or wrong. The whole First Amendment thing. Maybe that's part of the reason there are so many lurkers. But you guys proved you are more important than the First Amendment.
So what if what he stated was not always correct once the full picture was known. I believe the percentage for doctors to be correct on their diagnosis is something like 55% (this number is old and is probably higher with new technologies). You expect more than that via the internet! Who has too much time on their hands? Far as I can tell, maggots.
You even accused him of trying to drum up business but many of you have in your signature, links to your own business. Has anyone out there been ripped off by drmark?
You don't have to chase me off. I'm already gone.
I usually stay out of The Gimp section because, despite the best and most sincere intentions, I think there's a lot of the 'blind leading the blind'. I have read only a few of Dr. Mark's posts.
I don't think Dr. Mark who practices in Texas plans on accumulating wealth be posting on this forum and perhaps other forums.
Treating patients is an art and there is more than one way to treat nearly every malady; often there is less than 100% agreement in the medical community which method is best. And sometimes there is no best treatment.
OK....there is 100% agreement that ACL and meniscal tears should not be treated with amputation.
With imaging studies sometimes the findings are definitive and sometimes the images are equivocal. At every single conference I go to for radiologists, there are lectures where they show difficult cases and poll the audience of radiologists to see if they thought "this was a tear", " a cancer", "an abnormal obstetric ultrasound, etc" and it's not always an easy call.
So if George Bush starts posting in the Padded Room we should be sucking his dick and kissingly his ass because he offers insightful political views, even though he's an arrogant dick with no idea of how the world in this forum operates?
Oh, yeah, and this guy is the only orthopod on the fukking planet who might post here?
L&AirC - apparently you don't have enough time posting here to understand how shit works yourself, JONG. I've not seen any witty or insightful posts from you, so you should STFU.
it maybe the blind leading the blind in here, but I cant tell you how much this forum helped me leading up to my surgery, having never been injured before. it took a lot of the unknown and scariness out of it for me. i take it for what its worth, some stuff i agree with, some not so much. my experience hasnt been exactly the same as anyone elses in here and i wouldnt expect it to be. That being said, I think the majority in here sharing personal experiences care about those they are conversing with and want to help. Dr. mark has admitted and proven he doesnt care. I dont care if he continues to post in here or not, i dont think he will be missed though.
anyway, he is the one who freaked about such a simple word..obviously this place isnt right for him if he cant handle it. I swear on a regular basis, but I will tell you I have no problem finding dance partners, I have awesome parents who raised me in the best way possible and i grew up in a nice house with a door on it.

Its your loss if you call him out and chase him off, there are plenty of motocross guys who are happy to line up and hear what he has to say....even it if it is full of Dr. Marks strong opinions. After all it is why he is so effective....
Im glad he helped you but he was being a fuckin db in this thread and others. I dont feel bad at all for supposedly chasing him off.
Shit fuck balls tits
There i said it again. That felt good.
Hah! The man speaks the truth.Quote:
