Yes, @Unicornkisses I learned that lesson in 1998 when I had a total hysterectomy with a huge cut over 12" across my abdomen to make the job easy for the gynaecologist without any pressure stockings, had an epidural for two days and oestrogen implant - and had s huge pulmonary embolism wiping out 85% of my left lung and was in ICU & hospital for 6 weeks!!! I did get a second opinion but didn't take their advice and went ahead with the "easy solution" handed over my health and suffered permanent damage. I vowed never again, but went again with the one surgeon and trusted it was the right choice. Cost a load if money snd found out since he operates in the public system and felt ripped off ever since. Not only felt ripped off financially but also got poor "service" and no provided support through the very expensive Private health care system. I don't want to hold onto the anger so I'd like to become proactive and DO something about the issues. If you're interested I'll keep you in the loop for the "proactive journey of changes".
