Quote by Erma Bombeck
Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You're not out of it until the computer says you're out of it.
Summary
This quote is a clever comparison between leaving the hospital and quitting a book club. It suggests that just like resigning from a book club, where your resignation is not official until the computer records it, being discharged from the hospital is not considered complete until the paperwork and computer systems have updated your status. It humorously highlights the bureaucratic processes involved in both situations, emphasizing the need to meet certain requirements for an official exit.
