Very smooth reception at the day surgery unit having had pre-op assessment some weeks ago. Woke up feeling good under 2 hours after being taken to theatre.
Intrigued that the same questions are asked at least three times on the day - said to be borrowed from aircraft safety practice. Of course, all of the same had been asked at the pre-op assessment - not a short engagement. Is there sound evidence for that rather tedious sequence?
All staff introduced themselves.
The one criticism - was advised of potential complications but no bespoke literature given to me about recovery and rehabilitation.
