Comforting thought

Today a friend told me that when doctors speak to their patients about upcoming surgery to remove gall bladder, it's typical for them to say they plan to do it laparoscopically but that things could change mid-procedure.  I found this extremely comforting, even though I know that in my case Dr. Mowschenson could very well run into a belly full of scar tissue.
