I was just talking to a gf back in PA and she was telling me about her sister's horrible knee replacement and the major loss of blood her sister has been thru due to this surgery....she blames surgeon's errors.

My friend knows about the "elective" hip replacement I chose to do and the mess I live with 5+ yrs out....

So then she mentioned a book (above title) and how the doctor author said in the book, don't go to a hospital unless you are carried in. We both agree with that and I do NOW more than ever with hip job misery.

This book goes back to 1979 and I'm not going to buy it as I can read reviews on Amazon and believe most of what the MD says anyway.

My mother always said "they will not open me up"...
