3.0 out of 5 stars Plastic Surgery 101 For The Patient From The Doctors Point, 1 Jul 1999

By A Customer

I believe an informed patient or consumer is the most satisfied one. Dr. Marfuggi was very right to share his views from a position as a surgeon who treats canditates for surgery by informing them of all basic procedures, what they involve, and in his own way tries to give you a good idea of what the experiance can be like,when educated as well as prepared. This book however falls short in the human area of cosmetic and plastic surgey when it comes down to the emotion, the individuality and the every person is different aspect. This to me is so important for I am pursuing surgery and I found books written by people who have actually gone through the searching, the consults, and the procedures. I know now from these other books this is such a personal and individual experiance. Do all people recover in th amount of weeks the Dr. says? In this day of HMO's and finacing your surgery, does he address the fact that this is not only costing you a small fortune but you may need to be an inpatient or even qualify for inpatient care. What about the patient who is willing and can afford to stay in the hospital for they know they need that support. Does he tell you that Drs. often have a list of nurses who work only on these cases. Yes it costs, but even if you can't afford it, don't you want to know?Perhaps it is something you can arrange at home than. Does he tell you that office staff that treats you rudely can be a problem if you are apprehensive post -op with calling the Dr. because you feel as though you are bothering his staff? From a text point of view read this for explantion and a primer. For real help, I suggest you look up authors who have been on the other side of the experiance. The book falls short when factoring in that these personal factors are very major for whoever is considering any procedure. Educate yes, by all means, but if in the patients shoes, read their accounts also. It is you who will be going to pursue the surgical experiance. The Dr.is in the house but not on the table. Put this book as a reference guide in basics. Read however authors who have been there...had that.

I found out about this book from the "askdrm" Web site - and it gave me the confidence to re-commit myself to an exercise regime AND to call a plastic surgeon for an initial consultation!
