My wife had just had surgery and she wanted to go home, I told her to drink a bunch of water so she could pee because I thought they were gonna make her do that before she could go home. The nurse heard me telling her that and she came in and said “we don’t make the girls do that” that’s when I asked “but the boys have to or can’t be discharged” I said “why is that”.

Thanks for the info. I’m dumb and couldn’t find any clear cut reason for it, still seems weird to me they would take the liability of discharging a female with the hope she doesn’t get retention. Weird world
I was trying, I’m just dumb and could t find a clear cut answer, seems weird they would take the liability of a female getting the retention if making them pee clears them 100%
