I love pre-op questionnaires. They can be really fun. Here are some of the questions and my answers (or the answers I would give if I didn't have to worry about someone taking them seriously):
List all your surgeries:
I can't list all my surgeries on the space you give me, so I offer the unabridged version for the price of $10.
Who[m] do you live with?
wife, son, dog, cat, invisible friend Harvey the Rabbit.
Who[m] do you rely on for emotional support?
wife, son, dog, friends, [cat? Yeah, right.], invisible friend Harvey the Rabbit.
Does anyone rely on you for emotional support at home?
Wife, dog, ?teen son?, ?cat?
Would you like to see a social worker?
Depends on what they're wearing.
When you're a patient, I recommend doing this. It passes the time, and it entertains the staff. Just make sure they understand that Harvey is a joke.
