The man was being wheeled out of the Surgery Center by a smiling chatting nurse. David and Ken and I were walking from the car, going to have my surgery. As we approached, we heard the nurse ask if his ride was ready for him. With that, he stood up from the chair, quickly walked to his waiting car, opened the cat door, sat in the drivers seat and slammed the door. The nurse was waving her arms and calling, " No, No, No. It is not safe for you to drive". But he drove off anyway in his big Cadillac. David commented to the nurse that he would be a witness. And we all laughed.
When you agree to the surgery, you sign to follow their rules. You must have someone in the waiting room the whole time during surgery. And you must not drive home yourself. The reason is obvious. You have just received anesthetic and you are wearing a new eye patch. Each item was explained to you and each item must be signed so who certainly knew the rules. The nurse was not pleased and I suspect the second eye will not receive surgery until he follows the safety rules.
The whole scene happened in a flash. For my part, I hope he ran into a telephone pole when driving into his yard. He certainly left the parking lot in a rush.
