No, nothing like this at all
Nuance/Results
*/hospital for some other reason. (Stitches, a cavity, a cast, etc)
I've been rewatching ER and seeing how many people go up to surgery/how many surgeries they seem to have going on at one time, got me wondering how much of the population actually ends up having some type of surgery in their lifetime!
1: only choose elective over fixing an issue if you actually did it electively. So you didn't need to have it done, you just wanted to for cosmetic reasons (some people get new noses, some people legitimately have deviated septums that cause breathing issues. Some people get face lifts to get rid of wrinkles, some have skin sagging over their eyes that makes it hard to see. No judgement! Just be sure you choose appropriately!)
