I am just wondering because it's been 6 weeks since I've seen the surgeon. Would I have to wait for a new appointment to sign another consent form? Patiently waiting for my phone to ring in Ottawa..

I signed mine 5.5 months before surgery and was never asked to sign another.  I signed prior to being given my surgery date and when they called with one, I didn't have to sign anything else.  I didn't go through Ottawa but am sure that part would be the same all over.  You could always call them to inquire and then it may make them realize you still don't have a date.

I was told by my surgeon when I signed yes they do and they only have a certain amount of time to get you into surgery, it isn't a very long period.

I finally got the call - June 5. :)  Thanks everyone.

 

I was advised, however, that since this is elective surgery that if a trauma surgery happens on June 5 then I will be bumped and rescheduled within 3 weeks.    There was someone who couldn't have their surgery yesterday because there was an emergency trauma surgery that had to take place.
