On hospital discharges: Who needs the most reassurance?
I will do anything not to be in a hospital bed. I checked myself out as quickly as I could each time I was admitted (three obstetrical admissions) and once, after a day-surgery procedure, got in trouble with the recovery room nurse because she found me out of bed, getting dressed, before I was supposed to be on my feet.
Still, as a doctor, I am capable of taking great comfort …
