I agree Matt and why it is so vitally important and mandatory that every clinic/doctor review and go over every patients' medical history including their meds list before any surgery is considered.
A patient once told me that he was never told to stop his chemotherapy treatments before his procedure?! No one ever went over his health status before he scheduled his surgery and the clinic never even knew he was dying from pancreatic cancer. This "was not" a doctor from this community thank goodness.
Still, you all would be surprised at how often I hear that patients are never asked about their health history and meds before enrolling for a HT procedure.
