Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Tom.. I see both sides of the coin.. You're a real good man to be willing to say what you did. Me, however.. I read the intra-operative reports (on Deb's surgery)... and my opinion remains unchanged... And I'm not apologetic for feeling that way at all. You're a gem, Tom.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Tom, I havn't been around the list wrong. What happened with " Deb " ? Was this recent? Pre-consult Correcting Myself Hi all: In an earlier post, I said: > I don't really mean to be negative about newer surgeons, > it's just that the thing that really terrified me, pre-op, > was the idea of the really BIG messup in the Operating Room, > like what happened to Deb, (whatever it was, exactly). Another list member has pointed out to me that this statement can be construed as my placing blame on Dr. Ren for what happened to Deb. I didn't mean to give this impression, and I apologize if my meaning was not clear. I was trying to concretize a general opinion by tossing out an example with which I figured most people would be at least somewhat familiar. I probably should have stuck to my general point. So, to clear things up... As a FACTUAL MATTER, I don't claim that Dr. Ren is responsible for what happened to Deb. Furthermore, I'm sure that Dr. Ren did everything in her power to salvage the situation when it occured. I doubt that any of us will EVER know exactly what happened that day. As a matter of OPINION, however, I still think that, IN GENERAL, a more experienced surgeon has a better chance of fixing a problem that occurs in the O.R. than does a less experienced surgeon. PLEASE NOTE: This latter statement is my OPINION, and NOTHING MORE. I claim no factual or scientific basis for it. It's just what I, an uneducated layperson, think.
