Is
Is it not a "complication of surgery" when surrounding tissue is damaged due to an operation? I had surgery done on my forehead two weeks before going to college. I have ever since not been able to move my face as well as before -- and this after I asked the doctor repeatedly what the complications might be, and he named only one possible complication: infection. If I had known of the daily pain, itching, and facial muscle paresis were going to be caused by the surgery, I would not have let it be carried out. This is not the only surgery that I allowed myself to be coaxed into with the promise of no adverse effects (only the most serious one). I was asymptomatic until I allowed doctors to treat conditions that needed no treatment. It is my opinion that EVERY effect of a medical procedure ought to be considered beforehand, including the three mentioned above. Helenetoile (talk) 20:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Helene
