But since her operation is (hopefully) a good 10 years in the future, we will have time to make a decision. Ultimately our daughter will have to go with the surgeon that she feels comfortable with.sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-58390295736250238252014-04-11T13:51:25.515-04:002014-04-11T13:51:25.515-04:00I have a "feeling" that I have just been...I have a "feeling" that I have just been called a psychopath.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-54484157128209109392014-04-11T13:43:05.220-04:002014-04-11T13:43:05.220-04:00I hate to say this, but I am going to say it anywa...I hate to say this, but I am going to say it anyway.<br /><br />If he is the best surgeon, with the best outcomes, and you are not going to use him because of "feeling", then you are mistaken. Simple. <br /><br />If I had to guess, many, if not most, surgeons, if recorded, would be found to be... rude bastards. They learn, over time, to hate. Dunno why, but they do. They have become slaves to money, success, and what often stands in the way of enjoying their wages is what they work on. Express it openly or not, they feel it. <br /><br />Then again, when you think about it, what a doctor, of any stripe, is... is a man who is willing to ignore the pain of others, and do to them what no God-fearing man would even contemplate, often knowing they don't, at least initially, have the skills to actually help. They are, in essence, very well paid psychopaths. Truths you might not like, but... the truth just is what it is. Go with "feelings" if you must, but prepare to pay in more than money costs.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-6030748259854105812014-04-08T09:35:44.223-04:002014-04-08T09:35:44.223-04:00It says a lot about the culture of the operating r...It says a lot about the culture of the operating room, the doctor's lounge, the Surgical staff, and Administration of the hospital. I am sure it will be corrected, but I would consider going elsewhere if the procedure is to be done in the next 12 months.

I still don't know what I said or did under anesthetic, but ended up speaking with a nurse practitioner, who was present during the procedure and agreed to act as an intermediary. <br /><br />Which was strange.<br /><br />If you demand to be in the OR with your .45, maybe you could use Michael Clarke...but I suspect that he's a timid soul if he insults and slaps people under anesthetic for shits and giggles.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
