Pre-Admission Hospital Assessment Test
I just got a call from the hospital which I am going to have the operation in. They called to tell me that they want me to go through Pre-Assessment, Pre-Admissions in the Hospital. Has anyone gone through this? What do the do there?
Gulp! I was fine thinking about doing this and now all these pre-tests are giving me the willys!
They did ask me if I was allergic to latex, diabetic, or taking any other meds.
What happens if I fail? It's not a written test, is it? I'm just kidding! But, really what takes place during this test?

Pre-Admission Hospital Assessment Test
Don't worry! It is mostly paperwork. They will ask a lot of questions and make sure the paperwork has all the right info about what surgery you are having done as well as allergies and medical history. From there it varies from person to person and hospital to hospital. I had blood work done and an EKG due to problems with a history of slightly elevated blood pressure. Some women have x-rays and other tests depending on their own medical history.
Good luck!

Pre-Admission Hospital Assessment Test
I just got done with some of my tests. I had it done yesterday. I got blood work and they did a type and match and I have to wear this special bracelet until the day of my surgery. I am not allowed to take it off. I am going in on Tuesday and they will do an EKG before the surgery. I am getting more nervous and I am a nurse...go figure. Anway, I keep telling myself that this is standard and that everything is to ensure that I am safe.
Best wishes.
