Is it better to leave the hospital and go home on the eighth day or the ninth day?

There is no fixed answer to whether to choose the eighth or ninth day when you leave the hospital.

On the one hand, the choice of discharge time should be decided according to the patient's specific condition and doctor's advice, and don't pay too much attention to the specific discharge date. When the condition is stable, the general doctor will allow the patient to leave the hospital.

On the other hand, some traditional customs think that the third, sixth and ninth days of the lunar calendar are unlucky days, because "three, six and nine" all mean "many" in ancient Chinese, so these three days mean that the patient may be ill for some time. But this is just a traditional custom, which has no practical influence on decision-making in real life.

Generally speaking, whether 8th grade or the ninth grade is discharged from the hospital depends on the illness, doctor's advice and personal or family habits.
