Actually, yeah, probably. From what I hear, once the deed is done they'll often drop the patient like a bad habit. Any complications or problems afterwards? Too bad, you're getting ghosted. It's probably the most horrifying aspect of these surgery, after the obvious part of course, and it doesn't really get mentioned. Like even if a person is willing to speak up and admit to themselves something is wrong and it's not everything they imagined it would be they'll then have to risk ostracization for against the grain. And that's how it goes for the regular sort of patients, I can only imagine someone would do their best to forget Yaniv as soon as they put down the scalpel.
I'm still unsure if he actually went though with it but reaching out to other doctors for help doesn't factor into that skepticism.
And as for why it's public and not though DMs? Yaniv being Yaniv is the only conclusion I can come to there lol
