Like most in the waiting room, I have read multiple what to bring threads.
Seeing as this was my second OHS, I had a fair idea what I knew would be unused and what I really wanted to have with me.
Even so, I used only a few of the things I brought and the rest stayed in the locker in my room.
What I needed and wanted that was not provided by Mass General:
Slippers (rather than the socks they provide), chaptstick or lip balm, reading glasses, cell phone and charger (they are now permitted though they were not four years ago), pad of paper and pen/pencil, list of friends/family telephone numbers, shampoo (MGH only provides baby shampoo and I don't like it,) deoderant and hairbrush. I most definitely didn't want or need the new robe I bought. The johnnies/robes they provide are much more practical.
Just my personal list of what was useful for me.
