Will I need to see my medical doctor before surgery?
If you are over 50 or have major medical problems (such as a prior heart attack, diabetes, or seizures) we will arrange for you to see your medical doctor before surgery. The chemicals that you receive during anesthesia can affect your heart, lungs, liver and other organs. If your organs are diseased before surgery, your risk of anesthesia will be higher than for someone with healthy organs. It is for your safety that we have your medical doctor determine that you are in the best medical condition that you can be before we subject you to the negative effects of anesthesia.
