The document outlines the process flow for patients undergoing hernia surgery at Shouldice Hospital. Patients check in between 1-3pm, are given a room number and information materials. They prepare for surgery by shaving and changing into pajamas. Patients are awoken at 5:30am, prepped for surgery with local anesthetic, and have their 45 minute operation starting around 7:30am. After recovery, patients have meals and are discharged by 9pm.
