To me that makes no sense. I don't think anyone would just "be hanging out" at either a hospital or airport. The ONLY reason people hang out is cause they absolutely have to. Comfortable chairs would make absolutely no difference in hang time. When surgery is over and recovery is up, it's pretty much over and the patient is ready to go home. Same as when the plane comes and goes.
I highly doubt I'd go early just to hang out in the waiting room recliners...
