  1. Where did I say it was right for everyone or even encourage ANYone to get one? Yet here you are, being hypocritical by chastising me for something I had every right to do simply because I didn't have a bad experience with it.
  2. I'm a woman. Please do not tell me that I am being misogynistic. That's as bad as women who don't allow men to hold doors open because it devalues a woman's ability to open her own door. Sometimes people can choose to do things for someone else for reasons that have NOTHING to do with with their "value" as a person.

Fair point, I'm not sure! But I should mention It wasn't actually that profound. You'd kind of have to be looking for it and that was DURING the surgery. I'd imagine with healing it would be neglible. Possibly some scarring? It's not my area of expertise, but I imagine it would improve with time and be worth it from the patients perspective the vast majority of the time.

It could have been purely poor word choice? However I do think there was truth to it in that it would be hard to notice in the first place.

I'm not familiar with how to do specific sections of your comment as quotes, so sorry is a bit disjointed! I firstly totally agree that it may have been some non optimal word choice. She's truly awesome and her patients love her!

I know I suffer from some occasional wicked "foot-in-the-mouth-itis" we all do.

And I should clarify now that you mention it... this isn't r/medical school.

I'm not doing the surgery or anything high stakes during the procedure. We're talking closing laparscopic port sites, parts of open incisions (after the attending has got them started or gotten the key bits done) and certainly not doing anything major with knife. And all under active guidance from the surgeon. Not to worry anyone 😅. We start with watching and work our way up gradually as we prove ourselves competent as patients would, as I imagine, hope.
