In March 2019 (following the three post-Crane surgeries), M stated that he still had an abscess in his pelvis where his vagina had been. It is impossible to understand the turmoil, desires, wants and needs of others, I get that. After all of this, M continued to suffer from gender dysphoria. While there are those who will deny that fact, it has been covered up. What does this mean? The lawsuit against Dr. Crane arose because, while M alleged that he repeatedly told Dr. Crane and his staff that he did not need a vaginectomy and a scrotoplasty, those having already been performed by Dr. Meltzer in 2011, M stated that Dr. Crane over-rode his instructions and both cut into the area where Ms vagina had previously been, and damaged and dis-placed Ms scrotum (as discussed more fully below).

Theres a handful of surgeons who have decided (for whatever reasons) to focus on us and we know that we are all guinea pigs as they do their best efforts to hone their craft in a field where theres no text books or formal education. I will say, there is momentum moving and many of us will soon be coming forward-large media coverage-you name it. As a final note, other than coverage by 4thWaveNow, there appears to be nothing on the internet about Dr. Curtis Crane that is not completely laudatory and admiring of his surgical skills and acumen. People are oddly protective of these surgeons. M alleged that his out of pocket expenses for the September 2015 surgery with Dr. Crane were approximately $6,500, while his out of pocket expenses for the November 2017 surgery with Dr. Garcia were approximately $4,000, and he expected to spend about $4,000 more for the last surgery in the spring of 2018.

This is not surprising, since over 90% of all medical malpractice cases never go to trial.

I believe the move had something to do with the malpractice laws in Texas being more favorable to the surgeon than the patient. There is also the issue that, as had been discussed on GT and on other sites, that there is an effort afoot by the brigade, to fast track those with ASD to be transed.
