Bull. Been there, done that. More than once. Psych wards, ICU, Recovery.....never denied.

Let me restate that, If you please. Didn’t mean to snarky. This administration has me ready to burst!

That’s just not been my personal experience. Not just a hometown thing, this was at one of the biggest hospitals in our state.

I don't think that's always true. Not long ago, where I work, a dying teenager was in the ICU. A steady stream of mostly kids were coming in all day long to see him. However, I believe only his family were with him when he died, and the friends were in the waiting room.

Years ago when my father was in an intensive care unit, a friend of his said he was his brother and was allowed to visit.

It may be "official" policy, but I doubt it's ever enforced.

But I have never seen them ask for any proof of familial relationship. Hospitals should let patients have visits from whomever the patient wishes. No need for the so-called president to be involved. The man just wants to micro-manage the world.
