If your father himself is a surgeon he should understand the problem himself and the complications associated with it. Probably he might have some anxiety related to the surgery or the anesthesia. Believe me doctors are the worst patients. Talk to him and may be get him to the hospital with yourself saying its your health issue and then try to get his consultation.

if possible please come down to Columbia Asia hospital at Kharadi for consultation with me.
