Both my parents were in the medical field before my mother got in to politics. The questions I listed above really are the main ones you need to ask with any surgery. They really kind of cover everything, with out going in to the nitty gritty that can cause you too much grief. Keep it simple, dont worry about the really odd ball outside of norm stuff and you will just spiral down a hole you dont need or want to.
