Video PSA: Tips for Going Home from the Hospital


Nurse: So you’re leaving us today Mrs. Smith?

Mrs. Smith: Yes, you’ve all been great, but I’m ready to go home.

Nurse: Well, we need to go over your discharge information first, and you have some new medication.

Mrs. Smith: Can you help me remember all this, Darlene?

Darlene: Sure, Mom.

Mrs. Smith: Do I take this in addition to my other pills?

Nurse: Yes, you can take it with your current medication, but you need to follow up with your regular doctor.

Darlene: And how long will she need to take it?

Nurse: Until the prescriptions run out. Any other questions?

Mrs. Smith: Yes! When will I be able to go dancing again?
