culture promise before surgery

> The last surgery I had the surgeon promised to take cultures. When I

came out from sedation I asked if he took cultures and he said no he

had not. I was mad. So in spite of the surgeries the ENT docs are

willing to keep stabbing in the dark to treat infections.

This happened to me too - before surgery they promise anything - to

take cultures - then after... oops I forgot.

What's that all about? Anyone have any ideas?

I couldn't have gotten it in writing beforehand I don't think.

Cheers,
