Yes, there are better ways. But pretending that this isn’t an actual issue is simple denial.
Hospitals are under much pressure by the entities that are paying for the healthcare to get them out of the door that often patients are sent home before they are ready.
It has happened twice to my wife after two totally separate surgeries. There is a fine balance between getting the patient out the door and having them well enough so they will not be readmitted. Hospitals are in a difficult position.
Of course it would help more if they didn’t use contaminated mesh to patch a hernia and have to go back in to take it out and treat the raging infection that the contaminated mesh caused.
