Oh my! Good to know you are recovering well Richard. I had an interesting non-emergency medical touch point 2019. It can be argued that long hospital stays subjects you to problems such as staph and other infections. But the 'drive-thru' approach for some medical procedures is out of order.
You have to really, REALLY know what you're getting into re. early release health care and I fear some will be injured in their own homes when released too early. But I get that rehabbing at home also promotes faster, better outcomes. You just have do your research and ask many questions.
