[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I wouldn't be walking today if not for surgeries. The doctors that did them tried everything less invasive before they did surgery as a last resort.

I'm sure that there are some doctors that do unnecessary surgeries, but the ones that I've known have tried to avoid it.

My last wife died from cancer. Her cancer was discovered during a surgery. The only surgeries that she had for the cancer were palliative. There was nothing that could be done to save here life, but they could do some things to make her more comfortable.

I think that it's a bit absurd to blame a doctor for the death of someone that had brain tumors just because the doctor took steps that may have saved or extended the person's life. During my wife's illness, I learned that you always have a choice. She decided on every treatment she received every step of the way. No one can force a surgery or any other procedure for that matter on anyone. They give you the options and you make the choice. At least that's been my experience, and I've had a lot of medical treatment in my life.
