[QUOTE="foxglove, post: 138028, member: 26154"] I was at the docs not so long ago and having had a heart murmer since an infant and now suffering from various problems, I had done some investigations and wondered why I wasn't thought to be offered perhaps a heart bypass surgery. Before I could even get into any discussion about the pros and cons he just said , and I quote " you can't have an operation you'll die" unquote. I was so gobsmacked I couldn't reply but when dicussing this with my sister who is in the medical proffesion she reminded me that 1. it was not for him to say that and 2.even in that situation it is the anethatist who makes the final decision. I actually wrote to the practice manager and complained and got a very profuse apology but he did say that he thought perhaps I had misunderstood!?! Thankfully I was able to see others at the practice who were a lot nicer. [/QUOTE]
