Thanks for sharing. Few people are truly meticulous in their dealings. I have learned and am still learning to be as careful as possible, but I think we as human beings have a tendency to believe someone who supposedly is more educated than we are? Right now I'm getting acupuncture to reduce the pain, I've had one treatment so far, I think it is helping, but when I do see a surgeon next time I'm going to ask if he can explain what kind of surgery he is expecting to do - otherwise it's a no-go situation with me. Live and learn. And I've seen like 10 surgeons, none of them convinced me to go ahead with it despite the pain I'm enduring. I know it works with some people, I'm not one of them I guess. So I'll just do the best I can. Thanks for your response, I hope all goes well with you. By the way, I don't know if I mentioned that I was reading a book written by a doctor about internship and his experience and he said the class of interns were told by visiting lawyer/lecturer to NEVER ADMIT A MISTAKE. Hmmm isn't that interesting. Meantime I could not get any answer(s) from my husband's surgeon about what exactly did he do? It was in the middle of night surgery, who knows, maybe he was still waking up...Life is not long enough to figure all this junk out.
