It seems his childhood doctor missed something. It's always worth getting second opinions. A friend of mine got in a fight at his 10 year high school reunion (when, not ironically, confronting some bullies from back in the day). He went to the ER with his eye bleeding and the doctor there told him he would have to remove the eye. The surgeon wanted to do the operation right then. My friend went home instead and saw another doctor the next day, who said "if you do everything I tell you to do, we can save the eye." Today he's 48 and still has 20/20 vision.

(OP) >It seems his childhood doctor missed something. It's always worth getting second opinions. The doctor who performed Ilizarov surgeries, was the 4th or 5th Orthopedic doctor my parents consulted for me. He trained directly under Ilizarov himself & my treatment was conducted in 'the best' hospital in India which gets patients around the world where he was the chief Orthopedic. Considering the above, my parents were satisfied to hear his diagnosis that I'm a normal kid & would grow taller than my dad (5.3") [Something which any parent would like to hear]. Now, looking back; he might have lied; It wouldn't be a surprise as he's definitely corrupt - He demanded ~ 1500 USD as un-accounted money the day before surgery (at both times) while working in the most expensive hospital in India at that time. ---- I'm glad your friend didn't loose his eye, as you said second opinions are recommended. I did consult 4 orthopedics (of which 3 Spine surgeons) before my spine surgery.
