Hi everyone,
can anyone tell me what "extended period of time" means when they are asking in the medical examination form (and online), "Have you ever been admitted to hospital and/or received medical treatment for an extended period for any reason (including for a major operation or treatment of a psychiatric illness)?".
Does that include:
- when you didn't feel well and went to the hospital on the weekend because all GPs were closed and they've kept you in for a week to make sure you've got no heart issues? (my father worked in that hospital, and it was about 14 years ago, no further treatment/drugs prescribed, no abnormal findings)
- when you've stayed in hospital for a week for a tonsillectomy and the removal of a good-natured lymph node? (no further treatment/drugs were prescribed, it was about 22 years ago)
Or is that not "a lengthened period of time"? And is there anything to worry about when mentioning this?
Also, I can't seem to find any means to ask DIAC directly anymore. They seem to have changed the web enquiry form into a form where you can select two PDFs of standard information. Is calling them the only way currently?
Thanks for all hints in the right direction.
