The most important thing Dr. Hudson needs to know before surgery is what you want to achieve. Make certain that you tell him what it is you do not like and what you want corrected. Never hesitate to ask questions. Make certain the doctor answers your questions before the day of surgery. Just before surgery is not a good time to ask questions. You may be sleepy and it is unlikely you will remember the answers. The plan for surgery needs to be clear before you come to the operating room.
Dr. Hudson needs to know about your general health and medical history. When you first go to the doctor's office, you may be asked questions about your medical history. Please tell the doctor of any changes, they especially need to know if you have any allergies, especially to antibiotics and pain killers. Telling your doctor about any medicines you regularly take is important, especially heart medicines, blood thinners, insulin, etc.
If you have had surgery, your Dr. Hudson needs to know when and what operations you have had. It helps the him to know if things went well or if you had complications, such as bleeding or anesthetic problems.
Finally, tell your Dr. Hudson about any previous treatment for the problem currently under treatment.
