General practitioners' medical records could deliver important information for pre-anesthesia evaluation. However, sometimes after hospital admission tests--already done by the general practitioner--have to be repeated for preoperative assessment due to incomplete information or more technical issues.These time-spending double examinations cause additional costs for the health system and discomfort for the patient. Here, we focus on important medical records patient could easily get from his general practitioner for the preoperative visit.
