There are a lot of differences in how doctors in the UK and US differ (and in Canada, where I am), and one of the oddest that I heard about was that for almost all surgeries in the UK, the patient is required to wear pressure stockings for a week or so after their operations. That is never advised here, except perhaps in patients who have pre-existing conditions such as heart failure, or the surgery itself is heart (or perhaps stroke?) related.
