When patient is diagnosed and given options for surgery...but no surgery is planned or scheduled what level of mdm is that? This would be a general anesthesia surgery such as a hernia. From what I have heard if surgery is "planned" or "scheduled" it would be moderate or high depending on if there are any risk factors. Or if no surgery is planned or scheduled would that be a low mdm. I still think it would be at least moderate but would greatly appreciate feedback...thank you and happy Monday!
