Select all statements you think are true.

When I get called in for a potential transplant, I'll have enough time to sort out childcare arrangements and pet care before I have to leave.

If I'm accepted onto the waiting list, I will meet with a surgeon and an anaesthetist. I'll be able to ask them about my surgery and recovery.

If I'm accepted onto the waiting list, my co-ordinator will phone me and send me an information pack through the post.

I should let the transplant coordinator know if I check in to hospital, or go away from home.

I should have all of my hospital bags packed in advance, so I'm ready to leave home in a hurry.
