leaving hospital unaccompanied

Question

What is the convention here? I will be having a procedure shortly entailing an overnight stay and will leave hospital on crutches. My intention is to make the short journey home by taxi, solo. Is the hospital likely to take issue with this?

I don't suppose they will although it would depend on the nature of your operation, they might suggest you have someone with you but that is more out of duty of care than a legal obligation.
Just ask at the nurses desk if they know a nice cabby who will make sure you get in your door ok.
