I experienced some sickness this summer and my GP referred me to the hospital for a procedure. There's a waiting list and I have now idea when I will be given an appointment. I'm thinking maybe after Christmas. Im not in the UK by the way. I'm a public patient and I don't have any health insurance.
The procedure my GP referred me for is a colonoscopy. I never had one done. I read up online about it. I'm not nervous about the procedure itself but the day before the procedure, you have to fast except for clear liquids and also you have to take laxatives to clear out your insides. It's called prep online. I'm not looking forward to the prep but I am looking forward to getting cleaned out. I think there might be a night feeling being lighter.
Anyways I have no peace and privacy at home. I'm thinking about for when I'm called for the procedure, I'm thinking about booking 2 nights in a hotel in the city. It would be close to the hospital. I could pack a luggage bag with bottles of water and the laxatives and some of my own towels and baby wipes and an overnight bag and other supplies. I think it might make the process easier. I don't have any dates but rooms are usually expensive. Later on down the line when I get the details for the procedure, if I was to call into a hotel in the city and explain my situation, would they give me a discount? Would it be cheeky of me to ask for a discount? I would like 2 nights two one for the prep evening and the day after for after the hospital procedure.
Does anyone here work at front dest for a hotel? Would you give a discount under special circumstances.
