Hello, I’m having a mommy makeover on Monday. During my pre-op visit a MA who referred to herself as a “nurse” informed me that my 1 week post-op visit would be with her for to remove drains and sutures. I’m an RN and my husband is a physician and we found this odd. Is it typical for your medical assistants to remove surgical drains and for you to not see your patients till 4 weeks post op? Thanks.
