Instructions for the Driver

 

 
1. Don’t drop off your friend or family having surgery and come back later with a bacon burger in your hand.

 

2. Don’t go “Ooh, that needle looks so big!” right before I start the IV.

 

3. Once we pre-sedate, don’t talk so much.

 

4. If you are going to cry, make some excuse and step outside.

 

5. And the most important instruction: When they are in surgery, yes, please grab a bite of food and something to drink…

 
having to call the Emergency Response Team because you passed out during their recovery period is so not cool.
