HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU SHOULD GET SURGERY FOR INJURY?
If you are seriously injured in an accident, the need for surgery may be obvious. For example, if your spleen is punctured or you have a compound fracture. But in many cases, the need for surgery is not immediate or obvious. Maybe you have neck pain with arm weakness that doesn’t seem to get better. Similarly, you may have a scar that bothers you, but you aren’t sure if you should try plastic surgery to improve it. In those situations, you must make a decision.
When deciding about surgery, there are two important sources of information: your doctor and your body. Of course, you must also consider the cost – both for the treatment and the recovery time. Our injury lawyers always advise people to listen to their doctor. However, before undergoing non-emergency surgery, we also recommend getting a second opinion. Sometimes, another specialist will recommend a different type of therapy that might be effective. Of course, in some cases, the surgeon will advise that surgery may not solve the problem. Then you have an even more difficult decision to make.
