I just do not like hearing people say well that's just the way it is.

But sometimes...........THAT IS THE TRUTH. I was released to go home at nine O'clock at night by my PCP who did it in person. I had seen him that day at seven in the morning. I was frankly irritated and impatient and grouchy and my dear crew of Henry and Helene had been there with me every waking hour since I was admitted eight days prior, sitting on hard and uncomfortable seats and swearing they weren't.

But I am here. Getting better every day and I have complete trust and even more respect for our doctor. It is not an easy vocation. It may change, the process, and then people will be bringing suit against hospitals for being released too soon.
