The important thing to keep in mind is that they did finally let you out and fixed your Kidney stone difficulty and the terrible pain from it..... and all is better than it was.

I appreciate all the words encouraging my understanding of Doctors and Nurses and their tremendous responsibilities. BUT and this is a big BUT, when a person has had a hospital stay, they are usually very stressed already. To sit in a hospital room wearing their street clothing for 10 maybe 12 hours for a doctor's signature on a discharge paper brings that stress to an unbelievable level. Somehow, someway this simply should not happen. Being well and leaving a hospital should be a celebration, not a horrible experience. A patient is entitled to a major degree, an explanation what is to take place.
