Info

Why is it necessary for someone to be with me upon my discharge?

 

  • It is a hospital regulation that you are discharged from the hospital with a responsible adult. You will have received medications that cause sedation and impair your judgment. Being discharged with a responsible adult will prevent unnecessarily placing others and yourself at risk.
  • We ask that you do not drive, operate machinery or make important business decisions for 24 hours.
