My Dad’s Colonoscopy Changes The Rules
Mayo Clinic now has a rule where you can’t have any procedures that require sedation without someone there to take you home. My dad had a colonoscopy and on this occasion he was still messed up from the sedation when they released him.
He took an employee shuttle somewhere, went and grabbed some food, then went to the Emergency to catch a ride home from his best friend. A nurse that knows him saw him and realized he was geeked out. She took him straight to his friend, doctor in the Emergency Department.
His friend was less than impressed, reported the issue, and the new policy was implemented. That story about my dad is told as a cautionary tale there now. Story credit: Reddit / QueenieRue
