Nothing at all to do with the consent form stating what %could die
and it’s the only thing fixated on their mind. -
Different. Important to know if it’s just being appropriately nervous or if they really have a premonition. Every experienced surgeon can tell you of an unexpected death when this was ignored. There are still mysteries in
#medicine, and this is one of them.

Worst thing to hear from a gunshot wound victim on the way to the operating room is “Don’t let me die.”
