- Is the Fear of Surgery Meaningless?
Do you say "I'm afraid of having surgery!"?
Very normal. Of course you will be afraid. I'm sure you've heard stories from your mother, father, and even your grandfather. In those times, the fear of surgery was still a fear that kept people alive, just like in the early ages. In times when there were no modern hospitals and operating rooms, proper anesthesia techniques had not yet been developed, and antibiotics had not yet been discovered; Even when there was no electric light, surgeries were being performed in blood. People were writing their wills and saying goodbye to everyone before going into surgery.
But now we live in the 21st century. Take a look around you and you'll see it immediately. It is now necessary to leave aside such a fear that has only historical significance. The fear of surgery is today a fear as old and meaningless as the fear of the dark. Many surgeries can be performed with almost zero risk. All your rights are under legal protection. Moreover, unlike many other fields, in medicine; Especially in neurosurgery, Turkey ranks fifth and sixth in the world in the scientific field.
Therefore, do not fall into the trap of malicious people who play on your fear of surgery, which is a very natural feeling.
We >To people who say “Oh, don't have surgery!”, especially if these people are surgeons; Ask them whether they can perform the surgery in question.
I wonder when they say“Do not have surgery”, do they actually mean“I cannot perform this surgery”? Could it be that they are having a hard time revealing their inadequacy?
If the person talking about such a drawback is a truly experienced surgeon, especially a university professor who is known for the surgeries he performs, only then take what he says seriously...
