Your opinion in this situation

I've been with my husband when he was in a couple of Hospital's....The first one when he had a heart attack...I was with my son....
They were very nice and we were there for 4 hours....they let us stay to see what was wrong with my husband...They decided to keep
him and they told us come back in the morning....Very nice Nurses.....When we came back to the Hospital they let us see my husband...
He was getting a lot of tests...He did have a Major Heart Attack....He was very tired and we decided to go home and come back in morning
When we went in the morning they were actually calling me to tell them they are transporting to him to another Hospital...And they said
you can follow the Ambulance....When we got there we were to go to his room....They decided to wait for the next day cause he was
stabilized....He did get the operation the next day...And they let me stay the whole day and even asked me if I want to stay over night...
He had the room by himself....
I can go on about another operation, after a year or so...it was a big one......... (my kids, son and daughter and their kids) were able
to stay in the Hospital in New York City....It was a Nine in the morning to night when we got to see my husband....

Never had any problem....I could've slept there to...But I was with my daughter's family and my husband needed rest, so we came back
the next day, and the next day, and the next day....When my husband wanted to let our daughter's family go home...they were in NYC
pretty far from their home...Then my son and his son and Mom came for the last 2 days....No one kicked us out of my husband's room.

My son took us home...…. Huby is doing well...that was almost 4 years ago....We do donate to the NYC Hospital....

Thank God we are not in NYC now....
 
Many of your better hospitals today are very accommodating to families with loved one who are seriously ill. A year and a half ago my 49 yr. old daughter in law was dying of a very rare and toxic form of endometrial cancer. She was with Sloan Kettering and they have satellite hospitals throughout the tri-state area. She was in Riverview Hospital in Red Bank, NJ and they were very good to the family. My son would stay overnight while her aunt and I would go back to the house. The day before she died, she was moved into one of the Hospice rooms and we notified friends and family. They arrived in droves and the Hospice people brought us all kinds of food and drinks. My son, her aunt and I chose to stay the night. I was leery about leaving she was started on end of life meds and I wanted to be there when she passed. We stayed while the priest administered extreme unction and my son and her aunt went to sleep. The hospital provided beds in the room for them. I tended to her throughout the night giving her oral hygiene and simply seeing that she was comfortable. She died peacefully in my son's arms at 9:30 the next morning and we were permitted to stay and receive more family and friends until 3:30. They continued to replenish the food and coffee, tea and soft drinks. So there are circumstances where there are no problems having visitors aboard. But, for an ordinary visit with a non threatening condition, rules are enforced and have to be.
