Bring a written list of every medication you take, including over-the-counter and herbal preparations. The honest list is the useful list.
Tell us about your last meal, your loose teeth, your asthma, your snoring, your prior anaesthetic experiences. Nothing is too small.
Ask the question you were too embarrassed to ask. Most fears about anaesthesia disappear when they are spoken out loud to the person who will be looking after you.
