I've had two procedures, one was a colonoscopy, in the past few years where I was told I needed to have someone else take me home after the procedure. Both procedures done at Centerpoint! I got my son both times and both times I felt perfectly normal on the drive home. The last time Centerpoint was WAY overboard about it all. I got so pissed I asked them to just admit me for "observation" or I sign a waiver. "What the fuck"? Neither was good enough.
The idea I had but did not pursue was "medical transport". How that is different from a normal taxi I don't know. In any case I am sure Centerpoint would have given me a rash of shit, regardless. Now a days there's Uber.
I think they make your life difficult to collect more insurance.
Another run in I had w/Centerpoint was I had some surgery a few years ago. You're not supposed to eat anything (for some reason). Okfine! I had a large steak the night before and when I woke up I had a half cup of coffee w/non dairy creamer. They cancelled the surgery!!!! Not for the steak that I could feel STILL in my stomach but for the half tablespoon, equivalent, of non dairy creamer that was drunk 4 HOURS earlier!!!!!! I shit you not! Can you say "out of control"?
