If you had private surgery were you tested for MRSA?

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

Just started talking about this in another thread and really wondered if its normal to be tested in Private hospitals before WLS...what experience has anyone had?

Thanks

I wasn't. That's at Dolan Park.

 

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

wonder if I should have a chat with my GP?

I wasnt that was at Spire Manchester. I think if you have been admitted into hospital within 6 months they test you. Not certain though

Strange isnt it wonder why there was a difference?

Private through the Spire group and tested pre-op (but they did not leave enough time to get the results back before my op day so was a bit of a waste of time really!)
