[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the stuff in advance. Write down questions if any. Else just zone out as they rattle stuff off. [/quote] This is what I do. I read everything before I'm there and have my little panic, and then I don't listen on the day of when they are going through it and just sign. I have also sometimes asked that they leave the paperwork for me to review and come back in a few minutes. I know this is annoying for hospitals because they need to check it off and they don't want to have to circle back. But if I'm going under general anesthesia, for some reason it helps me feel better to just have a minute before I sign and give it to them. If I feel rushed, then my anxieties will really ramp up and I'll second guess. If they leave me alone and come back, it feels like my choice and that doesn't happen. I've never had anyone turn me down when I've asked.[/quote]
