I am from the UK and had mine done 3 weeks ago. It was the most painful experience of my life, and am still suffering now. It wasn't endoscopic though. I am not sure what my surgeon did for a full time job, but it had nothing to do with medicine, and that I'm sure of
@@knit1purl1 It was almost a year ago I had mine. It turned out that it was the wrong operation, and it should have been trigger finger. Because the doctors in the UK were refusing to see patients during lockdown, I was diagnosed over the phone. You couldn't make it up. Oh, it is still painful now
I'm so sorry about your wrong operation! I really thought something like that could never happen in the UK. Hope you have recovered from both problems.
Agreed. He's got a fresh open wound (surgical incision) and nasty microscopic creatures (bacteria) are the last thing that the patient needs. Also, for that matter everyone in the room should have had a mask on, including the patient (whether a regular surgical mask that we regular people are now aware of thanks to a certain virus OR a surgical pre-oxygenation mask used primarily for administration of oxygen for adults and beginning anesthesia for needle phobic adults or for children).
