I've seen this word frequently in the forum. Perhaps I'm missing something but what are patts? I'm almost there and just need to know what these are about. Thanks

Pre Admission Testing.

The final testing you do at your hospital a few weeks before after surgery.
They may do ultrasounds, ekgs etc. as one final check up before you have surgery to make sure all is well.

You know what doesn't make any sense though? It stands for Pre-Admission Testing, so why do we ad the extra T or TS on the end? Shouldn't it just be PAT instead of PATT or PATTS?

Some people do. I don't.
I cannot account for the bad spelling of other people.

In the states, we just called it PATS. :)

HERE we used to call it PATS too - not sure when it changed.  I don't remember any "teaching" either. LOL

PATTS is is your pre-op appt at the hospital.....every hospital varies. I had my surgery at Humber and for my PATTS appt  I had blood work, chest x-ray, spoke with the nurse, spoke with the anesesiologist, and had an EKG. This occured 2 weeks before my surgery.
