Default Very stressed and having second thoughts about this surgery

I'm going in on Tuesday for my surgery on this tooth, and I have not heard a word from the dental surgeons office. I don't know if I am supposed to fast, or avoid doing anything before I go in. There have been a number of stories in the media today about surgeries done in private hospitals resulting in death, which is not increasing my confidence at all..

I don't know what to do, I can't live with this stupid tooth and the blazing headaches any more, but I really am not happy with the lack of basic info I've been given (they haven't told me how long the surgery will take, how long I should take off afterwards, or any of the very basic things) I've gotten more info from this site than I have from the doctor's office.

I realise that some of these are things that are my responsibility to ask, but I think that things like do I need to fast/stop taking any meds before surgery is one that they should be telling me before I go in? When I did ask questions of the nurse that I booked in with, I didn't really get helpful answers..

Any thoughts?
