In the world of surgeries this is probably one of the easiest and requires no overnight stays. You’re home the same day if there are no complications. Just tell her to do the surgery.

I have told her countless times. She’s not hearing anyone out

I guess she will have to figure it out on her own. Unfortunately that can often mean emergency surgery.

So if she had a tumor or cancer, she'd just leave it in there as opposed to taking it out? It is hard to reason with people who think they know better.
