I would like to see a photo before & after 

You wanna have elective surgery ,,,,,,, do your homework

Never use backyard mechanics.  The story says this bloke had been waiting decades for "Publically funded surgery."  Why should the taxpayer pay for some guy to have plastic surgery and prance around pretending to be a woman.  A total drain on the health system and this isn't what people pay taxes for.    if it costs 30kNZD in Thailand how much would the tax payer give to this guy for his non essential surgery?

There are no surgeons in New Zealand who can perform the complex surgery

Nor in LoS, apparently. Now the NZ government is having to fund ongoing corrective treatment when it could have saved all the pain and bother by making it more easily accessible at home in the first place.

what were you thinking writing this post?

some of the best SRS surgery specialists are in Thailand and some hospitals are very good too.

Plus Thailand would very likely have more experienced surgeons for sex change, having performed so many more similar ops than anywhere...this lady picked a dud maybe, but no doctor will guarantee of 100% success.

It happens in every country. Half of all college graduates graduate in the vottom half of the class

The story posted is inadequate. Not enough detail relating to time of incident, location and how the patient ended up in the circumstances related. The information privided seems to be more intended to cause fear and loathing among potential surgery subjects, rather than providing useful information that might help patients make better, informed decisions.
