[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have wondered if the American Cancer Society offers this service. They should. It is another way that society needs to catch up with the fact that it is not 1950, everyone is not married, etc. [/quote] Which is why there are services , friends, or you can hire someone. It's a liability issue. 99% of the people are fine to get home alone. They have to protect themselves against the 1%. Liability waivers only help so much. Just because it means that nothing will come of it. Family can still make claims that they were negligent even though the person took full responsibility. There isn't enough staff or space available to let people hang out until they are 100% in the clear. We recently had a patient lie about having transportation home after a procedure. We paid for an uber to bring his friend to the hospital and then paid for an uber to bring them back home. We are at max capacity. [/quote]
