I hope that because the title of the article mentioned UK (United Kingdom) doctors, that this did not keep you from reading the article, "UK doctors warned about post-op adhesions." Post-op adhesions are not only a concern in the United Kingdom (UK) but also in the United States. Doctors/surgeons NEED to warn their patients about the risk of post-surgical adhesions!!! When contemplating a surgical procedure, patients NEED to know what the risks are!! Make sure that you know - before agreeing to a surgical procedure - what the risks are!!!!!
I am wondering if anyone has actually tried to sue a surgeon for not explaining the risks of surgery to them. Apparently this has been happening in the UK; and in this article Dr. Ellis has warned UK surgeons that "surgical complications are a growing source of litigation."
If you haven't read this article, I hope you will. To be forewarned is to be forearmed!!
