Am I wrong to be nagative about surgery

[Guest guest]

My doctor is advising AVS with a view to adrenalectomy – I have to let him know

if I wish to proceed in a few days time. But I have already decided that I

am against surgery. The choice is take a few pills every day or subject

myself to another battery of tests followed by surgery – with all the hassle and

discomfort that implies. To me it's no brainer – keep taking the tablets.

That this will be done under Britain's NHS where the nursing care be negligent

- and there is a risk of MRSA makes surgery even less attractive. There is

always a risk of coming out of hospital sicker than you went in in the UK.

The only benefit of the surgery according to the doctor is that I can stop

taking the medication, which are Spironolactone and a cocktail of five

conventional BP drugs. The meds are effectively controlling my BP and I can

live with the side effects - so I don't really know why the doctor is

advising surgery

Have I misunderstood something - am I wrong to be so negative about surgery?
