Get another Dr. Nothing about smoking prevents surgery.
Wrong.
The next to last surgery I had wouldn't be done if I was a smoker.

Yep, back when I was growing up, I honestly didn't know but a handful of folks who didn't smoke, back before it became the social demon that it is now. People had operations then just like they do now, and the doctor would come in the hospital room and have a cigarette with you after the surgery. Everybody in the hospital was smoking. Doctors, nurses, patients, visitors.Not wrong.
Smoker goes to emergency room. Is told to wait 90 days before they can be operated on.... Sure.
Didn't do those operations X number of years ago because smoking was more prevelent then.
Need a surgeon that doesn't operate off magazine articles. Or the latest tabloid studies.
Ironic I know people who smoked all their life and live to be 80-90, but I also know people that have never smoked and die 50-70!Yep, back when I was growing up, I honestly didn't know but a handful of folks who didn't smoke, back before it became the social demon that it is now.

I think most younger folks who grew up after the great demonization of smoking have absolutely no idea how it used to be. It was considered odd not to smoke, and the few folks who didn't smoke had a big ashtray on their coffee table for company to use. People could and did smoke in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals, doctor's waiting rooms, courtrooms, pretty much everywhere you went. Not just a few people, pretty much everybody. The news anchor on tv was smoking. About the only place you didn't see folks light up was in church, but they were smoking on the porch. It's a wonder any of us survived a lifetime of exposure to something that will now supposedly kill you from breathing one puff of second-hand smoke from someone 200 feet away outside.

That’s why you test drive for awhile!I look at it like buying a car or truck for either party, if it starts giving you lots of trouble and is a lemon, or to expensive to fix, or beyond repair, its time to trade for a new or different model.
