Are there any ethical considerations you take into account? If so, what are they?

Thanks Anne-Marie and Dr. G. Following up from my comment: stature lengthening is a topic of debate in patients without skeletal deformity. As you surely know, literature at this time does not delineate between height treatment versus enhancement. Where treatment allows for exploration of "height dysphoria." As of now, "height dysphoria" is not a true pathology.

Is it your position that there is no consideration necessary aside from your patients will to have the procedure and their pocket book? Do you conduct any screening for potential issues such as height dysphoria, or will you only take this into consideration when CMQ has something to say, and in the meantime, roll in cash?

In the mental calculus this doctor performs, they don't take into account risks associated with limb lengthening. Are they really asserting this is akin to breast augmentation or a hair transplant? Lol. I hope Dr. G is heavily insured.
