"Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You're not out of it until the computer says you're out of it"
- Erma Bombeck
About this Quote
In this quote, Erma Bombeck compares leaving the health center to resigning from a book club. She suggests that much like how one is not really out of a book club till their name is gotten rid of from the subscription list, one is not really out of the healthcare facility up until the computer system officially discharges them. This comparison highlights the administrative and impersonal nature of contemporary healthcare systems, where a computer system's choice holds more weight than a patient's own feelings or readiness to leave. It also speaks to the aggravation and lack of control that patients might feel when it concerns their own health and well-being.
