Many Surgeons Refrain from Asking about Post-Op Medical Wishes

As a surgeon, would you ask your patient what they would prefer to happen should something go awry in surgery? Many surgeons do not feel comfortable addressing this issue before it occurs. Some believe that it would alter the way they go about operating on the patient, and result in doing more harm to them by refraining from helping them in certain ways. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45689395/ns/health/
