'Getting your discharge' means being released from hospital care. Doctors 'discharge' patients when they're well enough to go home. Can also refer to bodily discharge (fluid from wound), but hospital release is the primary meaning in everyday speech.

「Getting your discharge」是从医院出院的意思。医生在患者康复到可以回家时会「discharge」患者。也可以指体液排出（伤口分泌物），但日常用语中主要指出院。

«Getting your discharge» significa recibir el alta del hospital. Los médicos dan el «discharge» a los pacientes cuando están lo bastante bien para irse a casa. También puede referirse a secreciones corporales (fluido de una herida), pero el alta hospitalaria es el significado principal en el habla cotidiana.

「Getting your discharge」は病院から退院すること。医師は患者が帰宅可能になると「discharge」する。体液の排出（傷口からの浸出液）を意味することもあるが、日常会話では退院が主な意味。

'Getting your discharge'는 병원 치료에서 퇴원하는 것을 의미한다. 의사가 환자의 상태가 귀가해도 될 정도로 좋아지면 '퇴원시킨다(discharge)'. 상처에서 나오는 체액(분비물)을 뜻하기도 하지만, 일상 대화에서는 병원 퇴원이 주된 의미이다.
