...You're fairly young(56) no other health problems and My team and I are the best in the business so don't worry we're going to get you safely through this surgery.You have my word on that.Wouldn't you feel better to hear that from your surgeon.So come on docs, jeezz install a little confidence in your patients!!!!!!!!!1
This would concern me more than the straight up truth! Why? Because I'd feel he was full of BS because I KNOW they can't make any guarantees and it's hard to have faith in someone full of BS!
After informing me of the risks (and yes, they're obliged to) my sugeon then pointed out that my age and overall health meant I stood a very good chance of making it through without any complications, but didn't make any guarantees. His forthright manner was just what I needed to have confidence in him.
