Prior to modern medical innovation, private duty nursing used to be the norm. While acute health conditions were treated in hospital, surgical procedures were more rare and most patients were sent home to recover on their own. Private duty nurses were paid to handle medical tasks or duties that went beyond the scope of a family' caregiving abilities.
Now, however, continued advancements have made surgical and other procedures more abundant, faster and efficient than ever before. Patients are often released within 24-hours of rather rigorous treatments, making post-surgical rehabilitation more complicated than in the past.
