With that hospital stay, it was unclear if I'd be discharged on the Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. If it was to be Friday, the husband of the nice Scottish lady in the next bed offered to go 40km out of his way and take me back to my car at the GP's clinic. I asked "What if they don't let me out until Saturday?"
He replied "The offer still stands. Either way, I'll be driving you back."
I was amazed and gratified by his generosity. I was discharged at the same time as his wife on the Friday.
