Successful Prostatectomy Surgery on Jehovah's Witness

 I learned I had prostrate cancer in late May 2010. I am 67 years old, diabetic, and had both TURP surgery and hernia surgery in the past. Being a Jehovah's Witness I was very concerned about the blood issue. Since conventional prostrate surgery is very bloody, it was not an option. Wait and watch was also not an option because of the death of my wife's father during this process. After careful review I decided on Robotic Prostrate Surgery. It was a great choice because of the doctor involved.

OK I rest my case.

2 in less than a week speaks for this Dr's ethics very clearly.

While prostate surgery is typically bloody, this can typically be dealt with, without transfusion:

1. Robatic surery has less blood loss, presumably because the abdomen is pumped full of air.
2. A scavenger device can be used for open surgery. The blood in the surgical cavity is sucked up into the machine, filtered, and infused back into you.
3. You can give and store your own blood so it can be used for transfusions.

(Clocknut said)-XXXXXX....is he some kind of surgeon or something? Yo-yo-yo

I like the BOLD print for the doctors name, all of us on the forum are doing that now too.

**small print- the writer is held harmless from any similarity to the real doctor or events, done just with fun-pun envolvement, if any events are truthfulness these comments then become endorsements for extraordinary work.....call BR-549 Jr. Samples
