Let your surgeon do his job
I hate it when my patients come into my office loaded with pages of crap they've down loaded off the internet and start dictating to me what they think their diagnosis is and what I should do about it and what approach to use and what prosthesis they think I need to implant. I have to spend the first 15 minutes after my H&P dispelling all the marketing hype and myth. Then I politely ask them if they treat their auto mechanic the same way. The answer is usually no. Then I politely tell them that they've come to our institution with a certain amount of confidence and that they should continue with that level of confidence and trust our judgement in the selection of components, the surgical approach, the post op protocol, etc.. Just let your surgeon do his/her job.
