You are about to perform a surgery on a patient.
This surgery can be preventative, corrective, or cosmetic.
Part of your pre-surgery routine involves a consultation with the patient.
Your patient is very nervous and demands a thorough step-by-step description of what will be happening
to them at each stage of the surgery, what exactly you will be doing, and why you will do those things.
They are also very math-brained, and love statistics, so be sure to sprinkle in as many of those as you
can. It will make them feel better.
Make sure you say:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
What you are treating
What your qualifications are
What the patient needs to do pre-op
What you will do
How long it will take
What the expected outcome is
What the risks are
An estimate of how much the procedure will cost
What the patient should do or not do after surgery
Good luck!
