Physician here. Make sure he has someone to be sure he gets home safely. Do NOT do as my own father did- not allowed to drive home so his D-in-law "picked him up" and took him to his car in the parking lot- he then drove home after a cystoscopy. Sigh. I'm sure there must be a professor or someone he can call on that day. Remind him to be safe even if he thinks he is inconveniencing someone- get an aquaintance to do the home escort honors, waiting several hours is a good idea, nothing wrong with waiting for someone to be available. Written results are a ggod idea as the memory goes with sedation. Too bad he can't be one of us oldsters having that- the prep is horrible (but knowing there's no potential cancer like my grandpa had was worth it).
