Pre-op appt w/ dr barker
It's ok if you don't have any questions. It sounds like you have prepared yourself well for this.
I would suggest that you ask about what meds you will be getting in the hospital and what meds he will give you to take at home. I have heard from some that nurses would tell them there were no orders for meds or that they couldn't give them anything and the whole time it was in their chart (this might have just been that they had bad nurses it wasn't a Dr. B problem). So it helps if you know what is being given and you have a family member that can be there to make sure you get what you are suppose to. I was s lucky. I had the best nurses and I never had any pain or nausea. If I said I wanted something they gave it to me.
Something I found out about Dr. B's office is to NEVER get a morning appt. Everytime I scheduled an appt in the late afternoon I havent' had to wait like I did when I went in the morning. I do it this way because I can't afford to take off work to just sit in a doctor's office. But I think he is worth the wait. I have never went in and felt rushed with him or anyone in his office. I guess that is why they are always running behind.LOL The truly care about their patients.
