"A responsible adult must drive you home." 📋
Easy... unless you live alone, your kids are three states away, and everyone you'd ask works Tuesdays. 😅
It's one of the most common pre-op problems there is — and it has real solutions. Here are your options, ranked 👇
1⃣ 👪 A friend or family member — still the gold standard IF they can truly commit. (A "maybe" that evaporates on surgery morning = canceled procedure 😬)
2⃣ 🚐 A professional medical transport es**rt — on file with your center, waits during your procedure, signs you out, grabs your prescriptions 💊 & walks you through your own front door. Accepted by many facilities when family can't be there. ✅
3⃣ 🩺 A nurse or home-care aide — for the bigger procedures where someone must STAY with you after.
❌ What doesn't work: Uber, taxi, or "I'll figure it out" — centers postpone procedures over exactly that.
