Holy... 5 days?!

Danish ENT resident here. We regularly discharge patients a few hours post-surgery. They are thoroughly instructed to contact the department at any time of the day, should they bleed, and we have a doctor on call 24/7. Does 5 days really make sense?

Well, I know that pain is a thing. We prescribe pain medication but we also advice the patients that we can't remove the pain entirely. We normally dont admit people because they feel safer, but I bet it's one of the differences between public and private healthcare.
