In my case last year, my doctor said I could go home at 10AM. But the Villages Regional Hospital doctor (The Hospitalist) was down at Leesburg discharging patients. He is the hospitalist for both hospitals. He didn't get up to the Villages to sign the discharge orders until the afternoon, therefore I ended up having to wait until 5:30 PM to go home.
