When my wife gave birth to our first daughter in 1984, she was in a double room shared with a lady of African descent who had just given birth herself. My wife had a c-section, the other lady did not.

A nurse came in and told the lady that she was being discharged the next day. Her response was “Oh no, the doctor told me I’m staying a couple more days.”

The nurse walked out and came back a short time later WITH the doctor, who told the lady that she was being discharged the nest day.

The next day after the lady left with her baby, the nurse told my wife that they treat the hospital like a hotel with room service.

Our tax dollars are paying for their hospital stay, so they’ll milk it for as long as they can.

Ican tell you stories about hospital patients...there is such a thing as a “ positive samsonite” diagnosis...a patient brings their suitcase to the ER and intends to force admission.
