Some clearly are, and other no. Some are extremely inaccurate:

Well cleaning your own room isn't as bad as dying in the waiting room at the ER (wonder where that happened...). In the US mothers get kicked out of the hospital after 1 day (average) after a c-section. Cleaning up your room seems odd, but at least better than no healthcare.

The average hospital stay in the U.S. after a c-section is 2-4 days (the average is 3 days). What is it in England?
