The rule seems to be that patients gotta stay 1 month after surgery in the hotel. Can German locals go back home to Berlin, Munich, Köln etc soon after discharge?
Is this true for German patients also? In Germany you can pretty much travel from some big cities to Freiburg in 2-3 hours. So will it really make a difference to stay in rehab clinic for 1 month or you just recover in the komfort of your home?

Isn't it different if someone has to fly to Australia vs just drive to a neighbouring city in a couple of hours or so? Less risk of embolism, any emergency you can go see the doc in hours, etc
Btw is he super strict like Paley or is he someone who would work on a case by case basis?

I would not dream of going home prior to two weeks unless you live in a care home with a very dedicated nursing team to attend to your activities of daily living.
well you don't know how you'll feel in another 9 days 
But seriously, it was very common for Betz patients to back home after 10 days of stay in the hospital. People have gone to work. Betz said one guy went to work 7 days after surgery. I am not saying it's possible by everyone, but IF the patient feels good, will they allow it is my question.
