I believe that after a colonoscopy, the medical staff will insist on someone accompanying the patient whether he was awake or totally sedated during the procedure. The staff is not supposed to allow patients to leave in a taxi, pretending that the driver is the escort.
When I have one, I go by myself in a taxi. H gets contacted to pick me up when the time comes.
Is summer school on? He could ask the Dean of students to put out a call for someone to accompany him back (the person need not stay for the whole time but would be contacted once he comes out of surgery). If the clinic is not far, the student would need only spend an hour or so going to the clinic and escorting him back, presumably in a taxi, and your son would not be unduly out of pocket. The graduate student coordinator in his department could also be helpful in lining up someone.
