Medical Questionnaire

[Nigel&Meggie 40]

Ok, this may be a really stupid question! On the UK medical questionnaire, question 1 - Have you ever been hospitalized? Now, does this mean having stayed an extended period of time including overnight in a hospital, or does it mean any visit to a hospital. I've been to hospital a couple of times but never had to stay overnight. For example I broke my wrist and had to go to hospital to have a cast put on it. Was in and out in like 3 hours, does that count as being hospitalized? I am presuming no, but would like some opinions, thanks.

No.

Edit: Now I'm laughing because my husband says "They must be British. We're natural born fretters."

I had cosmetic surgery on the NHS, and stayed overnight, does that count as hospitalized. I would say no, as for hospitalized means something went wrong and required hosptial treatment. What do you think?

Also, is asthma a lung disease?
