Ever wonder what happens if you're on blood thinners and need surgery? Doctors coordinate behind the scenes to keep you safe - it's not as complicated as you might think!

Why surgeons won't do a 14-hour "fix everything" surgery: blood clots, pneumonia risk "sky high" when you're "mummified" in compression garments.

Surgeon truth: Full body transformations in one surgery? Too risky! We stage them - usually tummy first (most requested), then thighs, then arms. Safety > convenience.

Even the best surgeons can only reach about 10^⁻2 reliability.
That’s one in 100 opportunities for error.
To get to 10^⁻3 or better, we need more than skill.
We need systems, just culture, and teams designed for reliability.
