Medical Discharge

    |
You've been through a lot, so your vital signs will be carefully monitored. We're sorry if that disturbs your rest - we simply want you to have an uneventful recovery! Don't hesitate to call us if you need anything. We'll be with you just as quickly as we possibly can.
Your nursing staff will give you specific information about limitations on physical activity, diet, and proper use of medications.
Now is the time to ask all your important questions - don't be bashful! The only silly question is the one you don't ask!
After any admission, remember to have someone available to take you home. It's helpful if someone can check on you during the first few days you're at home.
After discharge, you may need some prescription medications. In some hospitals, the doctor's order for those medicines will be handled by one of the hospital pharmacies. In other cases, your doctor may give you a written prescription or call one in to the pharmacy of your choice.
As a part of your discharge plan, you'll also need to stop by the hospital billing office where you can settle your account. The staff will provide directions. Okay, let's continue our virtual tour.
