Did you talk to th3 anestesiologist? That would be the perons to talk

to, and of they do not knwo to put Medrol in your IV when you ask for

it. RUN to another anesthesiologist.,

So, it's medrol they put in the IV?

The oral surgeon & assistants give all the drugs. I will be calling to

check on this again. I want to KNOW for sure that I'm covered (with HC)

before I have any surgery. If they won't do it, I will look for another oral

surgeon.
