Meet with your docto: Before surgery, a good surgeon will explain the surgical procedure and obtain your consent to undergo surgery. The risks and benefits of surgery are to be explained and clearly understood before you sign a Consent. Express this request to your nurse and to any of the assistants who work with your surgeon. This is how modern medicine/surgery is practiced. You have a Voice in this matter...exercise
