Here's what the heart surgeon noted that every patient should know before any major surgery:

Firstly, Dr Jeremy noted that it is important to understand that the doctor-patient relationship is foundational and it's a two-way street. He advised, “So, show up and ask questions, particularly if you don't understand something. The commodity is too precious. You're not buying a refrigerator or researching a car. This is your health. This is potentially your life.”

“Next, once you collectively decide on a plan, commit. Fully engaged. This is you showing up for your part of the relationship,” he explained.

Dr Jeremy stressed that it is important to bring a friend or a loved one to the pre-op visit. “This is an emotional conversation. Two sets of ears are better than one,” he explained.

Finally, Dr Jeremy advised that if you want a second opinion, it is essential to ask for one. “A confident, competent surgeon should never get defensive,” he noted.

According to the heart surgeon, although the operation won't be any less scary, if you follow this framework, there's comfort in knowing that you've made the best possible decision for yourself.
