Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- What are the realistic goals, alternatives, risks and qualifications of the treating professional?
- Does the plan involve an operation or a series of outpatient treatments, and which reviews are included?
- Ask about wound care, recovery restrictions, management of complications and the basis of any revision fees.
