I've never had anyone with me when I've got a colonoscopy. When I wake up and they've asked about someone picking me up, I say I'm driving myself home. They always just say to hang out for a while. Which I do, then away I go.

If I remember correctly, they did have me sign some paper saying I was driving myself home.

I know people that this was how they did it too

this thread is about Nates date(s) now anyway :laughing:

There is. If you take someone for a colonoscopy you have to sign a paper.
And they won't start without someone there so no point in saying walk out after.
The hospital is not the cops, they don't care and don't check or pursue anything, they are just doing what they need to do to stay out of court.

My wife has had 6 or 8 colonoscopies that I’ve been her ride for, and our oldest son has had one that I was his ride for. None of those times did I have to sign anything before or after the procedure.

Your terms are acceptable
 
Broseph, send me a ticket and I can be there tonight, or today with the 6 time zone changes.
 
I didn’t read everything so I apologize. I sedate daily. If I find out you have a taxi or Uber or whatever, I won’t release you (or even start). It is a liability if you aren’t taken to the correct address or anything happens to you.

And yes, we get the names of the drivers. And I make a driver be present the whole time. Rap can go south and waking up alone with no idea what is going on in an emergency room isn’t exactly fun.

Just from my side. I understand that most of the time a ride home is no big deal. But for that few percent chance it can be, thank a lawyer that tells me it is my fault for anything that happens following.

I don't know what kind of drugs they use to stick a camera up someone's ass, but I've had to go under 3 times in the last ~1.5 years for dental stuff - only time in my life I've had to go under. Whatever that cocktail you guys use is fucking magical. "We're giving you the good stuff now." Seconds later...zzzzzz. I'd time travel and randomly remember bits an pieces here and there...like maybe 20-30 seconds every half our or so between getting knocked out and waking up in my recliner at home 3 hours later. :laughing:

Same drugs/sedation.
 
I used to take a lady from work to her treatments at USF (50 miles away) once a month. I took time off from work to do it. She had a brain tumor and had to have a ride. Her family hates her, she was an insufferable bitch at work and dreaded by everyone. But, when I found out she hired a car to take her each month, I just don't think that is right. Everybody has to have somebody who will pick them up.

Did it for almost two years and she retired. She is still alive. I do not keep in touch. She never thanked me, which was fine with me, I didn't do it for that. Each time, when she was done, i'd take her to Mel's Diner to eat (she had to fast before treatments) and she was a completely different person... as we drove down the peninsula and the medicine wore off, she returned to her usual dark and awful self.

There is someone near you who will give you a ride and be happy to pitch in and help out. It is hard for people to ask for help, but people genuinely want to help. I once drove 800 miles each way to help a friend with his house. Had a great time and really helped. I drove out to San Rafael from Kentucky to paint my brother's house... I drove it in 2 days, painted the house in 5 (big house) and drove back. Got to see a tornado on the way back. Had a great time and my brother still talks about it 40 years later!

Twice I've needed help and I broke down and asked for it and got it... Ask for some help man. You deserve it and someone else will benefit from helping you.

IIRC you're one of the dirty (:flipoff2:) liberals around here, my main beef with them these days is that they love to spend other people's resources for noble causes, but you've mentioned some charitable contributions, and selflessly donating your time to others, I deeply respect you for that

:beer:

the boomers in my family like to talk about the "bleeding heart liberals"

to them, having empathy for other people and animals makes you a pussy. I lived in europe for a few years when I was younger, I came back and was fishing at my dads house and he called me a "european pussy" when I stopped him from caving in a turtle's shell with a hammer :homer:

I was raised by democrats that worked hard, that protested war and mocked Reagan for inflation and didn't trust big business big media or big government. They cared for the little guy, rooted for the underdog. My 1st voter registration was Democrat.

At 18 I moved out, randomly bought a 12ga the same day my friend did, was an avid wheeler, and started to notice how outdoorsmen and gun owners were treated in the media. I'd already been primed on "republican propaganda " and "winners write the history books" and "the government disarmed and killed the Indians" so it wasn't a huge stretch to realize both sides weren't worth a fuck.

By 23 I came to accept that the federal reserve is actually owned by a few family's of bankers that own 95% of politicians and that everything is bullshit.

The anti establishment democrats in my life have all become CNN lapping zombies.

Maybe except for an OG, "yeah Hillary is a bloodthirsty ****, but I need my fucking Obamacare" at least he's aware and honest:laughing:

Makes the gangbang headed his way easier. It’s nice of you to suggest sending a coach with experience.

Curious if policy can change based on hospital, or laws differ by state, or time(how long ago the last one was for you)?

Here in CA there's no doubt about it, how it's been and how it is right now.
From years ago when I've had them, to just last week when my wife drove my stepdad to his - strict policy on her being there and signing paper for them to do the procedure.

It could be that CA laws put hospitals in the crosshairs more easily for lawsuits.
It could be that different hospital organizations have different levels of paranoia with regard to being sued.

Whatever the case may be for the difference, it sounds like Nate's situation is lined up with the policies here in CA with our hospital network.
