I'm really confused about an upcoming cataract surgery I have scheduled in Kolkata. The doctor who's supposed to do the operation has an MBBS degree and a DO in ophthalmology. A couple of my friends are suggesting I reconsider because he doesn't have a surgery degree like MS. I'm honestly worried about it. Also, the doctor told me to stop taking ecospirin av 75 five days before the surgery. Should I be concerned about any of this?
