He Gave Me a Wide, Bulbous, Crooked Nose, and Nerve Damage…Think Twice...- Toronto, ON

Could anyone (especially our Canadian and Ontarian readers) tell me if it is illegal for a doctor not to mention or describe 'rhinoplasty' procedure in your medical and surgical reports (when in fact rhinoplasty was done and the surgeon got paid for). What is this called in medical/legal terms? 'Professional misconduct'? or, 'Falsification of medical records'? or, something else? As always, you can PM me if you prefer. Thank you all.

Unfortunately, a new member of the RealSelf community has accused me of spreading hate speech against Dr. Solomon and asked me to take it elsewhere. She also told me that I am ugly inside and out (don’t know how she could have seen my face—regretfully, I have never claimed to be a supermodel!). She also mentioned that my botched nose job was "karma" coming at me. Although I found the karma comment kind of entertaining because at least this "patient" acknowledges that I ended up with a botched nose job, her comments have truly hurt me. I posted my review on this website after almost 3 years of physical pain and emotional agony that all started after my very unsuccessful primary rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. If the walls of his office could talk, they would tell the truth about the way he treated me and how he literally kicked me out of his office telling me that he agrees that my nose is ruined but he can’t and doesn’t “want” to fix it, and how I should stop looking at the mirror and shouldn't take photos, and just learn to live with it! It took me three years to find the courage to speak up. It took me three years of physical and emotional suffering and pain to find the strength to tell my story. I was happy to have found this community but I wasn’t sure if they were going to actually publish my review or just delete it! To my astonishment, my story was published and there was an outpour of support from other community members, some of them former patients of Dr. Solomon. That gave me peace, not only in knowing that I am not alone, but also knowing that my voice counts and I can tell the TRUTH. I will always be grateful to this community and its members for that. My intention was never to spread hate against anyone, but to accomplish 2 things: 1) let those who are travelling the same painful journey know that their pain is VERY REAL and they are not alone in their suffering , and 2) to let those considering surgery know the real truth about rhinoplasty beyond fancy offices and framed degrees on the walls and phony smiles and empty promises. Calling this “hate speech” is a violation of human rights and (according to my friend who is a lawyer), I know that I have the right to pursue this reviewer’s comment as “defamation” and “slander” through legal channels. Also making this comment publicly online can also be interpreted as “cyber-bullying” which is another offence. Hate speech is illegal (so is defamation and slander) in Canada but telling the TRUTH is not. The difference is very clear. End of the story…

A while back, I found this website (Dr. R. Davis). I am not advocating for this doctor because I really don't know his work but thought the information was very helpful in terms of explaining rhinoplasty to the layman (aka, yours truly!) My other suggestion for those thinking of getting a primary or revision is to know the anatomy of your nose and different surgical techniques so when your surgeon is telling you about his action plans, you'll know what he is talking about and do not blindly accept what he says.
