A man surnamed Hsiao relates that once when he was waiting to see the doctor he saw pamphlets printed by the THRF entitled "Think Twice and Ask Three Times before Surgery." He picked one up, and followed its instructions to engage in a dialogue with the doctor. The result of their extensive discussion was that he discovered that he only needed continued observation, not surgery.
一位蕭先生在候診時看到了醫改會印製的「手術前三思八問」傳單，於是拿著傳單照本宣科與醫師對話，醫病間充分討論的結果發現──現階段只需追蹤觀察，還不用開刀，蕭先生因此逃過一劫，感恩之餘，從此成為醫改會的長期資助人。
