It talks about discharging patients on the same day as surgery and getting them to walk and exercise soon after waking up. They talk of a specific protocol involving a special protocol for anaesthesia and not taking anticoagulants.

This would significantly reduce the prices of the surgery as well. But is it risky? It would be great if other doctors gave their opinions on this since this is a published paper.

Quote from: precice strider on April 20, 2022, 07:11:30 PMAll the credible American doctors keep you in the hospital for four days in order to watch for fat embolism and other complications that may arise shortly after the surgery. A patient, Yush Gupta, died under Dr. Guichet as he was discharged too early.

He died from pulmonary embolism, not from fat embolism. And where did you read that he was discharged early and died from fat embolism? Please share the source. If it is that jezebel article please share where exactly in it.

TBH, I am also concerned about staying in the hospital for just 1 day.

Dr Guichet has probably come up with this protocol to operate on patients at the Harley Street Specialist Hospital in London which is exclusively for day care surgeries and hence much cheaper. He also operates at the Princess Grace Hospital in London which is probably way more expensive.

One concerning thing in the paper is that there is no mention of death of any patient.
