"trying to get home"

About: Arrowe Park Hospital

I had to go into arrow with severe abdominal pains. After my treatment I was discharged about 2ish, and I was taken to the discharge room where I waited until 4.40pm. On getting fedup with the wait, my wife asked our neighbour to pick me up, which she did. I don't know what the hospital's policy is on taking people home by ambulance is, because in my experience it's not working.
