The great thing about America is that you have the right to sue anyone for just about anything. The likelihood of being able to win a case is rather difficult.
Many doctors will have you sign a liability agreement before performing just about any procedure. This is usually required so they can be insured (malpractice insurance) or even hold practice at many hospitals.
As the plaintiff, you have to prove the doctor knowingly did not use the standard use of care and he/she denied you care that is needed for that particular procedure. Most doctor's are truly trying to do what they think is best for you, and with any procedure, there is that risk of something happening... you would have to prove that they truly had NO CLUE what they were doing usually.
Since this burden is rather difficult to present, often times, your case can be heard to deaf ears. This is why doctors with malpractice suits in their background can still practice. Kanye West's mother's surgery is prime example! That plastic surgeon had dozens of malpractice suits, and was still performing surgeries.
Always research your doctor's prior to any procedure, and use your faith and good judgment before any procedure... and credentials and board certification matters! And always look at where there degrees are obtained for their specialty. I don't know about everywhere else, but in CA there are many doctors who obtained their medical degrees out of the country, where procedures are performed and regulated completely differently than how they are out here.

Fatigue, stress, living with the knowledge you caused someone's death (anyone who does enough neurosurgical operations, particularly things like aneurysms, will have patients die).

Constantly having people make jokes, "Well, it doesn't take a brain surgeon!" or, "It's not brain surgery!"

Will you be able to have an MD-Ph.D If you want to become a cardiovascular surgeon?
It is not necessary. To become a cardiovascular surgeon, a physician must hold the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree or the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, be a licensed physician, and complete specialized residency and fellowship training. A plain old DO or MD with the proper training in cardiovascular surgery (residency/fellowship) is what you need. The D.O./Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. dual degrees are more research-oriented.
