Yes to a degree. It's more about what's gone wrong, what's being done and by whom. Not all surgery's were equally risky, but in general yeah you wouldn't leap at the chance to go under the knife.

My point was more that by the MA rules you don't really have much of a choice, it will be risk surgery or have v.high risk of bleeding death without it. Devil and the deep blue sea, kind of thing


Irony being one cause of not surviving surgery is of course the surgeon causing/exacerbating internal bleeding while performing surgery!
