I have not read through all of the responses, so if I am suggesting something already mentioned, sorry. I went with a family member who needed day surgery. His roommate for the day was an elderly gentleman who did not seem to have a relative or friend to go with him. He employed someone (sorry I don't know how he found this person, or if he hired him through a company). The employee drove him to and from the hospital, talked and keep him company before the procedure, this person helped him with his personal needs after his procedure, and he held onto some personal items while he was in the operating room. It was only after hours that I learned that he was hired. I just assumed he was a friend or relative. I thought it was kind of sad, but not everyone has a relative nearby, or wants to confide in a friend and/or ask the friend to take a day off from work.
