That was one of the most satisfying things I've ever read here.

Holy crap this was amazing. I wish all doctors acted the same.

I know that you can give details, and that's ok. I am curious though, could the procedure be performed on an obese patient? Obviously the risk of complications are increased but I was basically wonder how loosely or strictly you were sticking to "fatties gonna fat". In my opinion with your medical license/reputation on the line it would seem that operating on someone with a high risk of complications would be a bad idea anyway.

The procedure could be performed, and I have specialized techniques that can obviate some (but not all) of the inherent risks in operating on an obese patient. But a bigger part of the art of surgery is knowing who to operate on. A special snowflake that refuses to even shake my hand is a big red flag. Said patient will likely wipe their ass with any and all of my post-surgical advice, won't participate in PT, won't lose weight postop, and will essentially set themselves up to fail. In this case, the only winning move is not to play.
