Unethical Trans Doc Exposed
It’s hard to say exactly when Dr. Christopher Salgado, board certified and celebrated genital reconstruction surgeon, started to post questionable things on his Instagram account (@sexsurgeon). The account was taken down after the first complaints and deleted shortly thereafter, but he may have started as early as October 2018. During this time Dr. Salgado posted multiple pictures of himself in surgery, including one for Valentine’s Day in which he posed the patient’s dissected penis into the shape of a heart and added the hashtag #whatthefuckisthat. Other posts were similar. On the image of a man who needed jaw reconstruction surgery, he tagged #eatingpussy101. In posts discussing penile enhancement, he tagged #grandebicho, #bigfatdick, and #asiancock. In still another, discussing his use of a specific surgical technique for phalloplasty implants, he called the patient an “implant cripple” and used the tag #boners. Then there’s the post with an image of a dildo

Some people are upset about the recent Salgado story because it casts aspersions on their surgeon which, by extension, may call their own surgical experience into question. What are your thoughts on that?
