Poor doctor, as in yaniv's GP? The same person who should have had a comprehensive medical history, both mental and physical, of his patient. A patient's well-being should always be his priority, if not then he's in the wrong job. I wouldn't expect many GP's to know the minute details of every op but I don't accept they wouldn't have had a clue re the pros and cons. If yaniv used his usual suicide threats then all the more reason to refuse him point-blank, mental instability right there. As for his physical state, Jesus you only have to look at him - obese, rampant diabetes...
Like I said earlier, I don't lay the blame solely with the surgeon or even his GP come to that, as yaniv would have had to have had 2 psyche evaluations also, afaik. Even as unqualified as I am, I can tell yaniv is mentally a fair few slices short of a loaf.
yaniv wanted a quick fix, a magic wand so to speak, thinking all his problems would disappear overnight. What he has got is another medical condition, one that will last him for the rest of his life.
