You better believe it, have all your papers ready, remember
dates, names etc., are very important in a Court of Law
Doctors/Surgeons are so smart! so that's what they think
I had plastic surgery done (my nose)a couple years ago with
one of the best Plastic Surgery Doctors in Beverly Hills,
well on my first visits, all he did was to show me pictures
of the before and after results from famous people, and
pinpoint a few things, like not getting in the sun too much
or avoiding getting a cold etc., after surgery.
0n the day of the surgery, just when I was so excited (and
afraid)HE MADE ME SIGN A PAPER stating that he will not be
responsible if the nose bone will grow deformed or out of
control, well I have to sign because by then I already have
told my family and friends that I was having plastic surgery
which by the way I didn't need it, but my friends were doing
it, so I thought it will be cool for me too...needless to
say my nose was better before...I think...hmmm, it's pretty
now, but not better and the suffering I endured during
surgery was a little too much, after it was done, I had
purple, red, and a green face for 2 long weeks, as if
somebody had beated me up with a baseball bat...but Doctors
don't tell you those things or that you are going to sign a
disclaimer right before your schedule surgery, boy did I
fell like sueing his butt...lol
Just something to share
