Requested Blood Tests??? Started by: Megan

Did they tell you exactly what it is that they need to test for? It’s probably quite routine for them to do this in certain cases, so try not to worry too much. They requested additional details for me based upon my medical history too as I have a history of mental health conditions. They wanted a letter from my GP in my case, recommending whether or not I was fit to proceed with my surgery and they only asked for this ten days before my surgery, so I was scared it wouldn’t be back in time. I totally understand how stressed you must feel. It is probably just a normal check that they need to do to cover themselves and everything will probably be fine for you to proceed with your op as planned. Don’t worry about calling up the clinic to request an update as often as you need to in order to try to put your mind at rest. That’s what I was doing!

I had my op yesterday and my medical history was all fine but at my pre op they asked for bloods too, I just assumed if they haven’t been checked for a while it’s part of there checks? Nothing to worry about x

My doctors messed around and refused to give my medical history to mya untill a week before my op, so at my pre op they hadn’t even seen my history and i still had bloods taken so definitely think it’s standard practice xx

It will. Don’t worry ? Fingers crossed Megan xx
