I worry if in the future I need to get surgery.
yeah i can't do csats because of this. and in january, my fiance had a very routine laparascopic gallbladder removal. the surgeon nicked his liver and he ended up leaking bile into his abdomen. we had to go to the ER and a different hospital to get a stent placed to stop the leak. after this i am just horrified. this was done by the supposed top surgeon at the county hospital where we live.

When I had mine taken out the surgeon 'bumped' my liver and didn't mention it before sending me home. My liver stopped working and I was in the hospital for over a week until my liver started working again.

edit: i just said liver way too many times

It can be so hard for me to know what to write on csats sometimes. All I can think is "wow that was really good!" or "that's actually terrifying."
The comments are optional. The REQUIRED part of it is only for marking Pass/Fail.

wow. i'm sorry that happened to you. thankfully we didn't have any overnight hospital stays, though they wanted to admit him for "observation." we said hell no and went to the academic hospital in town to get fixed.

Dear Tyler,

Thank you for your email. We understand your frustration and apologize for any lack of explanation on our side.

As you can imagine, it is a tricky task balancing the quality of the submissions we accept and worker satisfaction. We have thus employed what we believe are reasonable standards for checking the quality of each submission. While the ~~~Removed as it describes the actual Quality Control check~~!, as you mentioned, is one of such quality checks, it is not the only; and, after reviewing your submissions again, it appears that some of your submissions did fail to meet these standards. For instance, we noticed that you spent 19 seconds on one of the submissions that was rejected. Having done the assignments ourselves, we feel that this is too short of a time to read through 10 comments and label them appropriately.

That being said, we understand how important approval ratings are for you and are willing to reverse your rejections. The update should be reflected shortly.
Thank you.


Thank you lord! Ok, so all the Clinics are being reversed.

Oh wow, they didn't admit him for leaking bile? I figured that would have been a a few days' stay, at least. I'm glad it was a relatively easy fix

afternoon guys. caught 20 c-sats.
sorry about the surgery episodes bxpretzel @bxpretzel, and themildone @themildone

Now I have to worry when my stomach hurts. The surgeon who did my surgery was supposed to be very experienced too. I hope everything is intact in me :)

I hope these don't need the writing? does not say optional like the previous ones did

Some of you have some really legitimate reasons for avoiding C-SATs.

I just avoid them because they make me want to throw up.
These don't have any blood! It's just surgeons practicing on a sort of videogame, one is a box they have to get a needle through and the other one is a twisting pole they have to get a ring from one end to the other.

Go at 'em.

no, the reason being that the gastroenterologist at that hospital was on vacation until february (this was mid-january - sure wish i could take a multiple-week long vacation!). so there was no one at that hospital qualified to fix him. and they admitted that we'd have problems with insurance paying the cost if they admitted him for "observation" so we got the hell out of there and over to the other hospital where they placed a stent at the leak. he is actually getting it removed tomorrow, so i won't be around much. fingers crossed that it goes well and this is the end of that ordeal. my gosh.
