I was reminded that a hospital, where patients surgeries were postponed, due to electrical failure, and the death toll for that period dropped significantly...The conclusion is obvious, but certainly gives reason for a patient to give his or her own health decisions serious thought!

If the surgery is going to extend your life, at what cost to you and your family, not in just dollars but in pain and suffering.
What kind of doctor are you married to?
