My Pre opp assessment

Hi had my Pre opp assessment this morning at spire Leeds all went well, I got greeted by a Gardner on way in “good morning how are you”

Then went for ECG
Got greeted with “good morning”

Then went to see Pre assessment nurse didn’t get a “good morning” and found her to be quite abrupt, wasn’t given a chance to ask any questions, was just told what will happen. Felt a bit rushed and if I were a bit insecure she could have put me off

Had bloods done and mrsa swabs then given hibby scrub to shower with night before and morning of admittance or if I have mrsa they will ring and I have to use every day but opp won’t be cancelled.
 
Glad all went well. She was probably having an off day. Good job you are on this site so you can ask anyone on here the questions you weren't able to ask her.

some ppl do tend to forget their manners, they may not have any or having a bad day .............but dont let that put you off - all the best xx
 
probably pmt !! lol xxx
 
She praps didnt get any last night lol. I am off for my pre op assesment on monday Jeff, did they swab you or did you do it yourself, my sister seems to think they give you the swabs and ask you to do it yourself but i want to double check on that. When is your operation and when do you have to start your pre op diet? Sorry for all the questions Jeff, glad your appointment went well apart from the rude nurse. X
