Knightsbridge Medical Questionnaire "Hospitalization"

[avol93 7]

Hey!

 

Forums have been super helpful so just want to double check my reasoning  - on the knightsbridge medical form it asks about hospitalization. I had 2 small outpatient surgeries, both done at a hospital and both taking less than 3hrs under local anesthetic. They are on my patient summary, I was referred through my GP etc.

 

Now normally I would say these don't count as hospitalization but as my medical is in 3 days I'm overthinking everything and I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to hide something!! So - check YES or NO for hospitalization..?

i dont consider an outpatient procedure as 'hospitalization' (to me that is at a minimum an overnight stay). Does the form have a space there for clarification/explanation? If so I might NOT check ANYTHING and write in an explanation and then the doctor can make the correct 'check mark'.

I would say, you were admitted to the hospital for the day and they were surgeries so say yes. This questionnaire is not for your immigration file, but just for talking points with the doctor. You can discuss in person with him.

Thanks guys, I'm just gonna check yes and explain and see what the doc says!! I didn't realize that it doesn't get forwarded into the immigration file!
