Re: Hand Slapped by my surgical oncologist 😡
I had a general surgeon and plastic surgeon who have worked together and it went very smoothly. I was told by the general surgeon that he didn't know what was going to have to come out until he got in there. I would question why the surgical oncologist is predetermining what he is going to do and who he will work with. You need to have control of what is going to happen to you on some level. You always have a choice of who you work with so don't be bullied into something that doesn't feel right.
