Preparing Before You Leave

What to organise at home, medical details to carry and preparing for your return journey.

This is a free preview of "Preparing Before You Leave" — one of ten chapters in The Complete Vietnam Surgery Companion.

Preparing for surgery overseas doesn't start when you arrive at the airport — it starts weeks before you leave home. This chapter walks through the practical details I found important, from organising medical information and essential documents to preparing your home, medications, recovery supplies and support network. It also helps you think ahead about your return journey, so you can focus less on last-minute arrangements and more on giving yourself the time and space you need to recover.
