Hello OH pals, Can someone give me a quick rundown of their experience with what the Preadmission visit consists of?
Mine is next week at 7am and they said it'll be 4 hours! What takes 4 hours?
Thanks!

Feeling grateful and fortunate to have this opportunity.
For me, I was weighed and had my vitals checked. The nurse went over the procedure and answered questions. She talked about post op in the hospital. They drew blood. I also had a meeting with the anesthesiologist. He and I talked about previous surgeries and my reactions to certain drugs and if I was nauseous after surgery. He explained what he would be doing and monitoring in the OR.

Referral to Guelph Feb/13, Sleep study and all bloodwork and ultrasound May/13, orientation July/13. Nurse, NUT,SW Sept/13, 2nd NUT, nurse and SW, 3rd round and cleared for surgery Dec/13. Pre-op Apr 7/14, Surgeon May 2/14, Opti Jul 3/14, surgery Jul 17/14.
My experience was the same. They gave me a 3 hour block, but it wasn't even close to that. The nurse said they do it just in case the anesthesiologist is delayed.

OK, that makes sense, some bloodwork would make sense. I'll bring a pen and paper to make my notes!
Thank-You!
