'discharge' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a lot leaving hospital with you and me' is the wordplay.
'a lot' becomes 'm'.
'leaving hospital with' becomes 'uc' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'you and me' becomes 'us'.
'm'+'uc'+'us'='MUCUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mucus that I've seen before include "Phlegm" , "Slimy fluid secreted in the body" , "Slimy secretion of nose" , "Protective secretion found in the gut, nose, throat and lungs" , "Nasal secretion" .)
