Stop
not being a cunt and get back to what we expect of you. Hint. Sensible advice is not it.

But seriously. My missus is a surgeon and will agree 100% with your post. And add some of her own.

One of the joys of her job is getting reported, roughly once every six months, to the Medical Practitioners Board. The latest was a patient who had proper-fucked their elbow in an accident and was told that they *must* get an operation in the next few days or they'd lose most of the mobility in the limb and would be suffer chronic pain until they died.

Patient legged it saying "This is all so sudden. How can I be expected to make a decision of this magnitude with no warning?"

They came back a month later and were told that their proper-fucked elbow was now totally-fucked and there was nothing that could be done. So they reported the missus.

After months of deliberation missus was found not guilty exonerated.

But this happens all the time. Some fuckwit injures themselves. They're given the full range of options of the risks vs benefits regarding their injury and decide not to be operated on. Then, when things turn to shit, they blame the surgeon for not being forcible enough!

The only reason that surgeons (at least here in Oz) continue to work in the public system is that, thank fuck, the vast majority of the good patients outweigh the bad.
