lagtime between surgery and follow up - Health, Fitness, and Sports

Here's the part that they don't tell you: The whole medical field is scared of fake lawsuits, and false complaints, so therefore, doctors will tell you the very worst of what could possibly happen to you. That's so that you can't go back and complain or sue, and accuse them of not telling you that something "possibly could happen".

A long time ago, I crushed my middle finger on the left hand, and it had a compound fracture, severed nerves and loss of tissue, etc. The doctor stitched it up as best he could, and said there was only a small chance I'd be able to feel anything again on the end of that finger, and almost no chance it would be back to 100% normal. So I was surprised when it was 98% back to normal in only a couple months . The same thing repeated many times since then (not a crushed finger, but the doctors telling tales of woe)... When we discovered my heart defect, the cardiologist basically said I was probably going to die, and if I did things right, I might be able to live a little longer. But then after checking further, it turns out that the only reason she said that, was that in case I did die, nobody could have accused her of not warning me to do certain things and work hard to stay in shape.

So to recap, I'd say that if a doctor says something has a 50% chance of healing, etc., it's probably 90% really. And if they say most likely all will be OK, then it means they're nearly 100% sure.
