That seems normal.

I didn't want to mention it in the original post because it would make
it sound like a critical decision and responses would naturally fall
on either side, but just how quickly a person would leave the hospital
looking for clothing/Internet connection/etc. is vital. 

It seems like your response is mostly post-hospital, meaning a fairly
quick exit.
