    I always mention tonsils, relevent when inserting breathing tube. So, yes, mention everything. Especially, if you think it's relevant.

    I simply list that I've had far too many to list, and that it is all available in my records, that they should have already had by now. Followed by a simple, ask me for more information, or look at records. I have 27 years of history, and a box of files, that part is aggravating for sure.

    I've had far too many to list if you start counting things that puncture skin. Like I've had 8 bone marrow biopsies. I asked at one of my appointments and was told list everything. When I saw the doctor he looked at surgies and how a wow look on his face. I told him the assistant said list everything - he then said only those surgeries that require a hospital stay. That is what I have been doing since that appointment. Hope it helps...isn't it hard getting new docs! Sure wish they could all access the same records!
