“I was wheeled in here. Now I'm walking out. I'm just getting started too.”
The 28-year-old, who has previously fought cancer, was elected to the House of Commons in December after ousting the then Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson from her East Dunbartonshire seat.
Among those wishing her well as she left hospital was SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.
