My bleeding liver

I did not want to get my liver biopsy. I was in the pre-op area, waiting to get prepped, and had cold feet. I spoke with the attending again, asking her to reconsider if we really needed to do this, and she reminded me that there were several areas in my liver that were bleeding and they needed to be cauterized. She reminded me also that the procedure would take a very long time. I left the hospital and went home, because I knew they were going to muck around with my organs if I stayed for the surgery, and also, I didn't want to take Monday off of work.
