I am waiting to pick up a friend at the Leesburg Hospital. It could be late this afternoon before he will be coming home. This recently happened to me and I don't understand why. In my friends case, his cardiac physician told him at 8AM this morning he could go home. He must now wait until the Hospital doctor, a doctor he has never seen and doesn't even know, signs papers for him to be released. In my case, my urologist signed release papers at 7 AM for me to be released. The "Hospital Doctor" who had nothing to do with my three day stay in the Leesburg Hospital, did not come around until 5 PM that afternoon to sign the release papers. I found this to be very stressful and probably could have been handled differently. Why ??????
