Aren't most surgeries recommended after consult with a specialist physician? I don't think I've ever heard of someone just going to see a surgeon and getting surgery without that sort of due process

- durnygbur 4y agoIt's absolutely a case and the reason is money and desperation. Imagine there is no public healthcare (USA) or the public healthcare is completely dysfunctional (Poland, Romania). Then you pay for every encounter with every medical specialist, who is mostly interested in charging and dismissing the patient, resulting with the patient turning increasingly desperate and impatient.

Surgeons in that field tend to prefer surgery, non-surgeons tend to be more conservative. As usual, neither is wrong. And neither is that kind of surgery done without consultation with the patient or due to "insurance quotas"...
