A surgeon explains why patients requesting capsule removal demand photo proof the procedure was actually done. The surgeon wasn't concerned about technical performance, but patients wanted documentation that the work happened.
They were talking amongst themselves. They were requesting capsule removals. They were suspicious of whether it was going to be done properly. They wanted photo documentation that it was being done. You know, there's no other type of operation I've done where patients come in with these really specific requests of technical performance and evidence, you know, that it was done. I wasn't really concerned about the technical performance because it's something that was already, you know, steady state in the background of my practice.
