An odd one from therapy this week.

I mentioned to my therapist that I didn't know which surgeon actually performed my surgery as I met both for the 5 minute consultation in the waiting room immediately before I was taken into the OR  (the only pre-surgery consultation I had.) My therapist said that is highly irregular and I should have been furnished with that information.

I had a decade of people insisting I was wrong and overreacting to be uncomfortable with that and "but you signed consent forms so they did nothing wrong!"

That IS highly irregular. I had an hour's consultation with my surgeon so he could check me over and allow me to make an appointment with his secretary (that's how I got it on my birthday).

He also spent another half hour with me on the day before surgery talking over exactly what it was he'd be doing and what he hoped to achieve (as I said before- new surgical techniques were in play).

I also signed consent forms, but only after that first meeting!
