That's exactly my view. That'd be why I kind of fear surgery altogether. I mean, the success rate of most operations on ANY part of the body is always higher than the failure or complication rate, but I've heard enough stories to keep me away from any doctor.

Doctors are humans, also, and can make mistakes, even if most of the work is done by a machine.

I also read in the paper of one case where the procedure was successful for a woman, but it somehow caused her eyes to stop producing enough tears or moisture to lubricate her eyes, and her eyes burned so bad she had to check herself into a mental hospital because she wanted to kill herself due to the pain.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's still a gamble, nonetheless, no?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
