What are the taboos for patients to leave the hospital in the afternoon?

In China culture, it may be considered unlucky to leave the hospital in the afternoon. This is because there is a sunset in the afternoon, which symbolizes that the day is coming to an end and patients in the hospital may feel negative and disappointed. In addition, the influence of folk metaphysics and Neo-Confucianism also leads some people to think that it is unlucky to leave the hospital in the afternoon.

However, this is just a cultural belief. In real life, the time for patients to leave the hospital depends more on the actual situation. It is acceptable to leave the hospital in the afternoon if the patient has made all the preparations needed for discharge in the morning. However, if all goes well, leaving the hospital in the morning can give patients more energy and confidence to cope with the recovery after returning home.

In short, the time for patients to leave the hospital depends on the specific actual situation and the influence of cultural beliefs. Whenever you leave the hospital, you should keep a positive attitude and believe that you can recover as soon as possible.
