You guys will appreciate this
My original PS sent me a request to friend him on Facebook. Hee hee. I'm sure he didn't send it himself and the person was told to just go through his client list. But still, isn't this rather absurd? I think my PS has earned special distinction within the docs of denial and will need to participate in an Olymphic event designed especially for him.
I sent my husband an email telling him about the message. His response: FLAME HIM!!! Actually, not a bad idea. LOL! I suggest we use his long, wavy hair to light the torch!
My husband was just kidding, and I have no intention of responding to or acknowledging the FB friend request.
For those of you who are not familiar with my history, this PS denied I had LE. He also denied for a year that my implant had developed capsular contracture, even though its shape was becoming increasingly distorted and firm. Finally, he denied the implant had poked through pectoral muscle, even though my breast surgeon suspected this when I first complained of serious pain. No MRI, nothing. Only after getting a second opinion did he acknowledge CC. He never acknowledged implant poking through muscle. He doesn't even know I had reconstruction undone, the implants removed, and muscle found seriously damaged.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that for his FB snapshot I could see PS had been photographed in front of the screen in his office used for before and after pics of his clients. I can just hear him asking his stupid nurse to take the pic! Creepy!

You should accept his friend request, then introduce him on your FB page as the PS who did your first surgery. I would imagine all of your other FB friends, if they know, would have some choice words for him.
Seriously tho, what the hell is he thinking? Ignore would be the route I would take also.

I think it's highly inappropriate that any doctor would try to "friend" his patients. It just seems very unprofessional.
I recently signed up for facebook, so of course the list of "suggestions" that came up for "friends" came from my email contacts. My onc's name came up. Nope, not gonna happen.

OY! What nerve and isn't it even a bit unethical? My original BS also denied my LE. In fact, he said he'd only seen it one time in his 20 years of practice. That's cause he had no idea what it was, turns out. So fired.

Hilarious Tina. How bold.
