BTW, Scranton Regional Hospital is the first one that ever just let me walk 
out
on my own. The discharge nurse told me I was free to go, so Albert and I 
packed
up the stack of reading material (I got through nearly two inches of the 
stack
of six inches of newsletters and magazine piled next to my bed at home! --  
Got
way behind in the move). So I said good bye and thanks to the nurses at the
floor desk, and we headed down the elevator and walked out. Every other 
hospital
I've ever been in insisted on a wheelchair out the door. Is that New?



Well, when leaving the ER at Copley Hospital in Morrisville (VT), they just 
directed me to the ER waiting area - no wheelchair. They just put a brace on 
me, gave me crutches, and saw me off. After surgery I did have a wheelchair, 
but the surgery was on my knee, so that was definitely helpful.
