CRITICAL NOTES:
1. AP/AC restart plan is the most important thing to address. Put ok on Post-op day N and also the specific date so it's completely clear. This is guaranteed a re-consult if you do not address.
2. Update the depart yourself with the specific attending / center so you make this fool-proof.
