Ouch, I also hope they recognize that you make no argument at all in that obtuse comment.
But, I will point something out from your comment further up;

That is because you don't know what tests that should have been performed for you and maybe for your wife prior to her stroke, which may have ameliorated that incident for her.

Indeed, that might be the case....or not.
What people also need to consider is, no matter their insurance plan, whether the surgery or procedure a specialist is recommending is actually needed? It's estimated than 12%+ of surgeries/procedure in the USA every year are unnecessary. That is something like 2.5 million+ people undergoing the knife who don't need to be.
Think about that. How many of them died b/c of it? How many suffered adverse outcomes?
I know countless stories of people who later realized they didn't need the surgery they had gotten (me also) and some who realize that they didn't seek less invasive options before agreeing to be cut into. So,
the easier it is for many Docs to sell you something, well, that's what they're going to do. KA-CHING!
