My ENT very emphatically did NOT want to give me any numbers or years. You have to blame me. I have over three decades of cross examination skills and my line of questioning was very indirect and in combination with my gambit question of "what if I don't do anything?" Her response which I did not include was "You would be a very foolish person since this is treatable and I have done the exact same surgery and worse on people who have survived." which opened up a line for "how many: 100- 200, etc until I boxed out an answer. While I am not Muslim, I always thought there was a very Christian concept expressed in the all purpose answer to questions like
Will the bus come at 4?: "GOD WILLING" they'd reply.
Just know that based solely on who she has operated on, no one has died before a year and while others with less invasive surgery are going on ten or twelve years, just so happens that similar ones to me have all been within the last 5 years. So definitely NOT PROOF just happenstance but Inquiring Minds want to know.
