One of the most dangerous mindsets you can operate from when getting surgery is the urgency driven by emotions. Because when you make a purchase especially a substantial ones that have irreversible consequences. You are not ust buying an outcome, you are buying a probability distribution of outcomes. The probability distribution in the key operativ word here
When the stakes are high, you don't just guess. The biggest stock market brokers, hedge funds don't just gamble rhe money with a probability because variance matters. It's not about what you hope will happen, it's about what could go wongly and what you can afford to lose
Whether it's a surgery or a
million dollar software migration or a high stakes bet in the markets, if you can't afford the recovery, the follow ups, and the revision fund for a botched job, you can't afford the procedure. Full stop.
I see too many 14-16 year olds thinking they should get surgery the second that you can save up some scrape together enough money, opting for the cheapest surgeon or surgeries available . Doesn't work like that and that's a terrible way to approach it. You weigh the pros and cons and then you make an informed decision on your own terms on what to do. One of the last things that your decision should be based on is money. Money shouldnt be a problem. Your problem should be finding the surgeons, logistics and recovery. Those are the real hurdles
But muh bro I'm feeling suicidal and feel like killing myself living in this body. I need surgery rn. No you don't and you are going to feel 10x more suicidal with deep BPD if you don't get the desired outcomes.. surgery is one time thing, you only got one shot and you have to make it count, you don't make the shot until you know even if the arrow lands lands 10 feet above target you'll be fine.
Weather it's surgery, a high stakes bet or any significant decision in life. Don't just aim for the outcome build something that can survive the outcome.
