Oh, just found out it is “examination under anaesthesia”, so answered that bit.
My other problem is that the hospital is so snowed under that the second-opinion surgeon doesn’t have my records yet.
When we phone to try to sort it out, the lines are all busy and we just get cut off. I was thinking that the hospital is under so much stress that I am better to postpone the whole second-opinion thing, but then I started to get urinary incontinence from the distended j-pouch pressing on my bladder, so now there is a sense of urgency. (Did not mean that to be a pun, but it is!)
