I’m truly curious. Not even trying to complain, I understand the hospitals are full but like what takes so long to print paperwork?
UPDATE: Thank you all for your input and responses, it definitely helped the time pass by. We are home now. I do understand waiting is not suffering but at some point something has to give. We have an infant and toddler who had to be left with family and we were anxious to get home to them. I understand we are not the only people who have ever had to wait for discharge. I was truly curious as to what the hold up is. After getting incoming responses seeming to state that this is normal, it all got to me. This should not be normal and the patient, critical or not, should not have to get the short end of the stick. Reality or not. In a perfect world I guess.
Sorry to all the underpaid, over worked staff.

You said you had two kids you needed to get to. But you chose to wait at the hospital with your husband. So that’s kinda on you.
And before you come at me, I’m a single mum with no help. I have been in and out of hospital constantly over the past 9 months while I’ve battled cancer. I’ve had to call in favours to have my daughter cared for. If I had a partner who was just sitting with me, waiting for me to be discharged, I’d tell them to leave and tend to the kids and I’ll get an Uber home.
