Unnecessary surgery anyone?

I've seen estimates that approx 50% of c-sections are unnecessary. And 75% of hysterectomies. The only abdominal surgery I've ever had was my c-section, which was of fairly dubious necessity. So how many other people here got adhesions from an unnecessary operation?

That's one of the things that makes me really mad... I mean it would be one thing if the c-section had saved my baby's life. And if you had appendicitis or cancer or fibroids or cysts doing something nasty and they NEEDED to come out, well, ok ending up with adhesions is rotten luck, but when the alternative was dying, at least you don't have the insult to add to your injury!
