Today’s surgeons use advanced tools and techniques to perform many procedures without large cuts. But some situations still call for open surgery, especially when speed, access or complexity matters most. Surgery is how surgeons fix or explore problems inside your body.
Surgery involves the management of acute injuries and illnesses as differentiated from chronic, slowly progressing diseases, except when patients with the latter type of disease must be operated upon. A general treatment of surgery follows. For further treatments, see therapeutics; medicine.
There are three phases of surgery: preoperative, operative, and postoperative. If you decide surgery isn't right for you, it's okay to decline, but make sure you're informed about any risks to your health. Surgery is medical treatment provided through an opening in the body.
There are many reasons to have surgery, ranging from pain prevention to body adjustments. However, there are risks associated with it. Read about them.

As far as a fire in the house, as long as the stove is maintained right and installed properly, there is more chance that a bolt of lightning will hit your chimney and burn the house down than the stove doing it.

The house has radiator heat. The boiler kicks on intermittently when the thermostat shows that the house is 4-5 degrees above the set temperature. Is this a design feature of high efficiency boilers since it may take a while to bring the house up to temp with radiators or is there something wrong with the thermostat or boiler control?
Why does my gas boiler run when the house is warmer than the set temp?
I've installed a whole-house dehumidifier in my crawlspace. For various reasons (primarily drainage), I hung it from the floor joists above, using a simple platform made of 2x4s supporting a piece of plywood. Unfortunately, a lot of vibration is being transmitted into the house. I know the...
