I sure keep it in mind if needing surgery, though there are times when an emergency takes precedence for obvious reasons. One generally doesn’t have surgery for the hell of it; as all surgery comes with risks, as the body was not designed to be opened and allowing bacteria to enter. But reality dictates in times of danger.
