“I read in the visit/clinic notes...”

I read in the visit/clinic notes that I was listed as having COPD. I have never been told, nor do I have COPD. I also read that I was classified as ASA 3. I don't understand/agree with this, as my chronic conditions are stable and well controlled. I think I am an ASA 2 and would like to have known this classification during the Interview so I could ask questions and better understand why I received this classification: for example, an ASA 3 is considered to have "severe" systemic disease? What constitutes "severe" systemic disease? With all of my conditions, I am perfectly capable and do run my small livestock and produce farm by myself. I am slowed down by current ortho conditions, but they are not chronic and will be fixed.

My experiences with UVA Health have been beyond excellent! The actual concern for the human being itself is beyond belief. This human behavioral practice is extremely unique in health care--and yet UVA has mastered it!
