I went to the hospital this morning to see the surgeon.
After making it through the SARS checkpoint, I made my way up to the clinic where I was to see the doctor. My appointment was for 9am. Naturally the doctor didn't even show up till 9:30, and then we could hear him discussing his weekend, etc.. with his nurse for 15 minutes before he came in to see me.
When he did everything was fairly cut and dry. He didn't even examine me, which means changing into the stupid gown the nurse told me to wasn't necessary.
Anyway, I have to have my gallbladder removed. They'll do it laproscopically, unless once they start they run into complications. If that happens, they'll switch to the conventional method. He says that 95% of the time the laproscopic surgery works, so he doesn't anticipate any problems.
So, now I wait. The receptionist is supposed to phone with an appointment for the surgery, which will undoubtedly be completely inconvienant for everyone, but too damn bad. This appointment is one I won't change.
