Lots of tests! AUGH!!
Jul 06, 2014
I saw the surgeon on Thursday and he has ordered lots of tests. I need a stress test, EKG, EGD, Doppler of lower extremities as well as letters from my cardiologist, Primary care doctor and Psychiatrist a a bunch of lab work. I also have to be 14 days on a low calorie, no protein, clear liquid diet pre-op. augh!! he has some concerns about NSAIDs post-op for my knees and endometriosis. I have those same concerns. Our (my husband was with me) time with him was inturupted several times. The staff was friendly but kinda felt like a number. He did't seem interested in my health history...just in putting it in his computer which did an automatic letter for my Primary Doctor. He comes highly reccomended so I think thats the most important thing. I'd rather have an excellent surgeon with bad bedside manner than a good bedside and bad surgeon. I was speechless coming out of his office. A lot to take in. I need to rest. LOL
