I'd be discussing declining the procedure based on that. I don't know if I'd pull the trigger, based on a number of things: how likely can I get the procedure done elsewhere or by a different surgeon, how badly and quickly do I need the procedure, insurance issues. But I'd certainly try to talk to hospital staff about it.

On the other hand, I've heard Herman Cain was an idiot savant. So just because they can't make change without an automatic register doesn't mean they can't do surgery.
