Hospital Policies Change
Apparently hospital policies are being changed for there were some differences in the way things were handled for us today for the outpatient tests.
It seems that now, at least in the outpatient rooms, the patient can dial a room service number and order a meal to his liking at whatever time he is hungry. There is a menu in the room and the patient chooses foods from it and calls in the order. The meal will be delivered 45 minutes later.
And the discharge policy, at least in our case, was different. There was no chariot ride in a wheel chair to the front door. It was, "Good-bye. Hope you have a good life." If he wanted to, he could have waited in the lounge while we brought the car to the front entrance. He opted to walk. He had to rest a little at one point, but he did OK. I'm hoping the exercise will have done him good.
