Lesson learned re cardiology clearance -

By mscarly

· 142 views

Went for my pre-op testing today with my internist (standard questions and tests such as blood pressure, blood work, EKG, chest xray, etc).

 

She said typically an INTERNIST can give cardiac clearance before surgery; but she looked closely at the order and called to make sure - my surgery center requires a CARDIOLOGIST to give the clearance.

 

This is usually even more the case when you're having ELECTIVE surgery, she commented. They are being very sure to have complete due diligence on you ...

 

Word to the wise - it would be a heck of a note to not have that correct on surgery day. When in doubt - CALL! :ohmy:
