Do I let my uncle - in - law operate on my daughter?
Hello
My daughter needs to get surgery
She only has a 50% chance of surving the surgery
My husbands uncle is a surgeon and offered to perform the surgery
I am having second thoughts because if my daughter does not make it through the surgery i dont want my uncle - in - law to feel the blame for her death
I could have the surgery performed at a hospital 4 hours away
My question is . Do I let my uncle - in - law perform a life threating surgery on my daughter or have someone not related to me perform the surgery?

I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope everything works out well.
I personally would not let you uncle in-law operate on your daughter because God forbid if anything happens, he will feel guilty and have the guilt follow him throughout the rest of his life. Have the surgery at a hospital with someone who is not related to you perform it.

Hi. I'm really sorry about your daughter. She will defiently be in my thoughts and prayers.
My twin sister was in this same situation, with a 50% chance of surviving. I can understand you a lot, but it must be much harder for you, since its your daughter.
Anyways, you need to consider if your uncle -in- law does that type of surgery for a living and specializes (spelled) in that typed of surgery. If not, then defiently let another doctor do it. To put it harshly, its not always best to have relatives do important things. If your daughter doesn't make it through the surgery, your uncle -in- law would probably feel guilty. In my opinion, if the doctor 4 hours away is more certified than your uncle -in- law then PLEASE travel that far.
I hope all turns out for the best. Please keep me updated on everything if you don't mine. My email is brooke_7392@yahoo.com
Your daughter will be in my prayers. God Bless.

I think you shouldnt let ur uncle i law do it. It will be too much pressure for him, and think about it. If For some reason, it goes wrong, the family relationships will be tense. So i think youshould get a another doctor you dont know. I hope youre daughter succeeds :] and find a good doctor too:]

Generally I find that having relatives perform such a critical surgery is not a very good idea. The reason being is because emotions will inevitably get in the way and cloud his judgement. As I'm sure your uncle-in-law is very capable of performing the surgery himself, I'd advise to have the other hospital you mentioned take it in their hands. I speak from experience on this matter because a friend from college had surgery done on his nasal cavity, and his dad is a surgeon but wouldn't perform on his own son for this very reason. You and your daughter have my thoughts and prayers, I wish the best of luck to you both. Keep me updated with the results.

thats a tough situation. im sorry about your daughter as well. if i were in your position, i would not have him operate, and let someone else do it. god forbid if she did not make it, he would probably feel reallly bad. i know i would. and also, talking to him if she didnt make it would be rather unconfortable... dont you think? hope i helped<333
best wishes for your daughter
