Preop clearance

Haven't posted in a while but wondering how hard it is to get preop  clearance? Knee scope scheduled in 10 days and they say I need ep clearance. I haven't been following with one or doing device checks, no issues, but have to go to get clearance.  So starting over with one in network with my insurance and hoping he won't delay the surgery.

How long is a piece of string?

Your first issue is to find an EP.  I don't know about the area where you live  but first appointments with specialists can take months to get here.  Going without device checks just seems nuts but maybe that's just me.

It's been a while.  Since you haven't been followed they will probably do some tests as you know.

Not scolding... but you also know it's important to keep on top of device checks.  I could tell you "rare" stories about mine.    

Good luck with your procedure.  Keep in touch.

Device checks

It's hard for me to get time off for these and they are expensive. I am not dependent on my pm or I would make more of an effort to get them done. Made an appt  with an EP in the same network where I am a provider, hoping he is the better than the last EP I dealt with.

Do you realize how few denizens of this swamp  know at all that "Bossy" is derrived from your royal honors as proclaimed by the TaTMan, himself?  They think it's some term of endearment that comes from Shirley McClain!

It's great to have you back, if even as a evanescent pass-through by an old friend.  Tell us - have you been lurking?  You've probably been running/hobbling on that shot knee you have & are in trouble again!  finally gonna get it fixed, eh?
