Thought this a grest little article about discussing pros/cons and making decisions regarding health care.

Just wanted to share it here.

Thanks. Found that interesting. Reminds me of the conversation with my consultant about a possible TKR. He’s the only person that has pointed out that there is a one in five chance that I might regret the operation and to look at what my life is like without having it done. Because of that I have more faith in him than someone who just encourages me to have it done.
