Find the best doctor: And team with the most experience/best outcomes. Discuss concerns with the team both related to the surgery and the anesthesia. Meet with all of the attending physicians and clearly express your concerns. Understand the risk to benefit ratio of both the disease and the procedure, i.e. Which is more dangerous in both the short and long-term, the disease or the surgery?
