Pre op assesmentt

[day-break]

Having recently had surgery, i was given a pre op assessment prior to surgery. Blood pressure, ecg, lung finction, bloods, weight, height,were all taken. is all that equivelent to having a full health check mot ?

You need to ask someone who is qualified to answer this question and not just gather opinions.

when I had an health check at the doctors they just checked my weight and blood pressure and cholesterol.

The assessment is only intended to check whether or not you are fit enough to undergo the surgery and there are usually checks to make sure you will not transfer infection to the hospital.

I'm an Anaesthetist and I can't answer your question. You'd need to approach one of the private clinics or GPs who offer the MOT service to find out what they include. You've probably had more investigations that for an MOT but I'd expect you'd get more extensive general lifestyle advice than you would at a pre-op assessment. I imagine they also do a fasting blood sugar and cholesterol but don't quote me on it.
