As an emergency room porter I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to turn in a patients discharge papers because they either forget to take them or they think it’s unnecessary to take them when they’re discharged.
Discharge papers are VERY important! If you’re ever discharged from the er or from any floor, take those suckers with you! A whole boatload of your personal information is on those things from you name address, Social Security, you name it.
