I'm thinking for something major like Lefort 1 + BSSO you would need next of kin in the waiting room during the surgery, then somebody to drive you home, then possibly someone to look after you the first couple days. The fact of the matter is that during this period, you'll be totally helpless and could easily be robbed by hired help. I can't be the only one who thinks getting in a taxi while half unconscious on pain meds is total insanity. Any advice from people who have been in this situation? Since some people even fly to foreign countries for surgery, there must be a strategy for this.
