"Ummmm ok......why??"

4 million operations over 3 year period and the best time for an op is a monday, as the week progresses the death rate following op increases by 10%.

Don't need to now

If I need emergency surgery I don't care whenit is. If it's elective I probably still wouldn't care but I can be more choosy on the date etc

But if it's elective surgery I can say no to a date and ask for it to be rearranged as the surgery isn't life threatening etc. I'm thinking of things like plastic surgery etc. If I have to take a date I have to take it. All surgery comes with an element of risk and statistics aren't always right

I heard that on the news too. One theory is that the quality of after care isn't as high at weekends as it is during the week.

So you've been to your GP, been referred to a consultant, then maybe a specialist ....

Waited for tests, scans, and other preliminary procedures, for maybe six months, more or less ....

And you want to argue about what day of week it is?

This kind of attitude really irritates me. It's not like the hairdressers you know. You can't book in and decide on a whim when you can make it.

Surgeons for their specialities only operate on certain days. They have clinics to run on the other days. If you need an operation then book the time off and have it done when they offer you a date. Otherwise don't have the operation and suffer or go private

On weekends there are only on call teams of medical and surgical doctors, who have to look after the whole hospital, try being on duty those days and need to get the doctor on the ward

There's more to this than meets the eye.

Statistics get plucked out to cause moral panics and suit the purposes of others.

It wouldn't surprise me if all of this is used as a lever by some body sooner than later to change doctors working patterns/hours.

"82% die over the weekend if the op is done on Friday. Thats a huge percentage "

don't believe this is accurate....One daily paper stated that you had a 42% greater risk of dying following surgery if you were operated on , on a Friday. Can't find anything that said 82% of patients operated on a Friday died...

Hello Specifically 1,

statistics can be confusing, 42% as you say greater risk on Friday than Monday but according to the BBC news the mortality rate is about 0.8% Mondays and 1.3% Fridays but the risk (with BBC figures)is 62.5% greater on Fridays. This is not the mortality rate but the relative number comparing Monday with Friday. The overall death rate is quite low.

The N.H.S are offering £5.50 a time for sperm donations.

Which would make that old sock under your bed worth about nine grand.

Some surgeons schedule the lass routine/more difficult/ higher risk operations specifically for Fridays because it means if something happens they are more likely to be available to deal with it over the weekend than during the week. Because of this you'd naturally expect a higher mortality rate after the Friday ops.
