To the folks in Nashville...

If you can't find a driver, ask them if 23 hour observation is an option if you live far from the medical center. You would hate to have an accident with anesthesia in your system.
Agree you should ask for an overnight observation bed. Technically, it's not an admission, which payers won't reimburse for this purpose. They'll have a limited number of observation beds, so you need to get in the queue if you can.

Around here, they won't turn you over to someone, even a health professional, who only gives you a ride home and then takes off. They'll insist on someone staying overnight with you. Anesthesia departments aren't casual about this, unfortunately. It's not a system made for people who live alone.

Never heard of the overnight observation. You're right about them being sticklers about having someone with you. While in Florida, (I only lived a mile away), they turned me away in spite of a Taxi taking me back. I won't discuss what I/we did :) This will be my 4th inspection so I know what to expect.

Will they release you to a taxi?, although "Porn Star" above has offered to help.....Yikes!!

Taxi, Porn Star and drugs.... Wife might encourage it to soften up my square edges :D

haha! I do have a couch

Stay away from the audition couch!!

I am already on antibiotics :o

I think you should just reschedule your procedure.

Vandy is 3 1/2 hours away. Earliest they can see me (unless someone cancels) is Sept 10. I'd drive there tomorrow if I could to push this ball faster, postponing just for a ride (presuming I can work a backup plan) isn't in my cards. I want this over. Also.... I did mention that we're working the logistics for the wife to go. Ya gotta go when their slot opens.

Why am I not surprised Richard is actually talking about a colonoscopy in the 2 Ch forum?

Need a ride anywhere else Richard?

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Easy, one of the forums that gets more views.

It's kind of creepy, especially with Porn_Star offering his services.

What's more creepy.... him offering his services or someone's incessant comments about Amy's earlobes? :ph34r:

All this talk about colonoscopies in the 2 channel forum reminded me that I need to find another copy of Led Zeppelins "In through the outdoor" :o

good luck Sir !

The older I get the the more I seem to understand old folks sitting in a restaurant talking about all sorts of surgeries and procedures they have, with no regard to people around them.
