I visited someone in the hospital today and was struck by some unpleasant associations from seeing "Patient Discharge" on a sign. Surely there is a better word for this...what do they call it in UK countries?

Maybe

Patient Release

would be better?

Yes, that's definitely better. – JeffSahol May 27 '11 at 17:40
Patient Release sounds much more enjoyable... a real happy ending to a hospital stay ;) – Dancrumb May 27 '11 at 20:50
In the sense that "If you're patient enough,you will soon be released"? :P – abhiii5459 May 28 '11 at 11:42
