the polyclinic will help u to call and make the 1st appt (usually 2 weeks to a month later)

u bring the letter from the polyclinic to the hospital
same day do the checkup
then the doc will arrange the op date for u, depending on how serious and their schedule
there might be some pre-op tests to be done
if bery serious, immed warded and op can be done next day or next next day
if not urgent then can schedule around 1 or 2 weeks later to be admitted
