Would you let a friend operate on you?

[Laura.]

Nope. I'd ask for their advice on what to do and what surgeon they trust the most, but I wouldn't have them operate me.
It would be horrible for them if something went wrong.

 

[michael_ab]

SURE if they're a surgon, if they aint certified my boarders are CLOSED

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I'd have my friend pick out a surgeon they trust and think would do the operation well. Because if the shit hits the fan I don't want my friend to feel that it's their fault.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Don't doctors have a rule that says they should never operate on people they know?
It clouds their judgement if they know you, and makes them more nervous.

So no, friends stay out of my insides.

 

[bodyklok]

That depends on the operation, the friend, and, most importantly, weather or not I could go and see a proper surgeon!

 

[Kollega]

I don't have any "real" friends,i.e. people who actually hang out with me. It's impossible for me to be in "bad injury,lot of friends,no surgeon" situation.

I'd let my dad,though - he seems fairly competent and well-versed in many things.

 

[esperandote]

I'll ask him if he's going to be nervous or is going to be ok. if hes going to be ok the i'd let him do it.

scrubs episode

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

so long as they did it for free, otherwise i'll do it myself!

 

[Jedoro]

I'd want a stranger to do it, since he or she wouldn't be faced with the extra pressure of having a friend's life in his or her hands.

 

[El Chibi]

Heeck' No! I wouldn't even trust family with surgery, let alone friends. lol

 

[Skreeee]

No, any of them would spell out obscene things with the stitches afterwards.

 

[Ophiuchus]

If they're a qualified surgeon and willing to do the operation, there's no good reason not to. If they're just goofing around with a knife yelling "I'M A SURGEON LOL", I might be less keen on the idea.

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

No way. uh-uh. Absolutely not.

I don't know anybody reliable enough, and even if I did they'd probably just do something to spite me anyway.

Also all of this is primarily on the assumption that I get to know somebody who's a surgeon in the first place, so far I know 1 surgeon, and he's like 80 now and he's one of my parent's freind's dads.

 

[Nukey]

no, i know enough about medicine to operate on myself.

 

[obliterate]

If it's a girl friend yeah

 

[Nibsy]

No, not a chance.
Three reasons:
1) The majority of my friends would never be able to become a surgeon/doctor in the first place.
2) Even if one of them did become a surgeon, I'm afraid it would compromise their better judgement.
3) I don't trust any of my friends enough to let them cut me open.

 

[johnzaku]

Oh I'd dot it. and a la scrubs, he'll sutcher his initials into me after X/

Really though, I'd trust my best friend Keith. He's good at this kinda stuff.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Hell no, they'd put things in places where it shouldn't be!

 

[Deleted]

Well as long as the hands going in my head are professional I don't care who does it. Though I hope its not someone who hates me because they'll hold my life in their hands and 'slip' the knife.

 

[bluepilot]

Good gracious no!!

I know my friends too well

There is a high possibility I will end up with my mouth sawn together
