2 How to Make Your Surgeon Happy

3 Dear Dr. GS, Your patient Mr. MC has been cleared for the planned surgery. I would like to assure you that no medical complications will arise from the planned surgery and furthermore, should they arise, I take full responsibility for managing them. Our commitment extends for full 30 days post op.
