Even when you do all of that the hospitals are woefully understaffed in my experience. I met a lot of good nurses when my Dad at the hospital for a month but they couldn't come in the room without getting an urgent phone call that they had to rush off to. That said, my Dad was moved to another hospital and they had just hired a bunch of aides and nurses were much more relaxed and weren't rushing as much. So, I know some hospitals are well staffed but the ones that aren't ... it's pretty awful. As I watch healthcare workers leave the job due to the mandate I am really concerned about the quality of care patients are getting.
I make a special point to spend time with patients who are alone, unfortunately 'VIP families' can take away time from those that have no one and cannot speak up for themselves.

I was there when my Dad was in the hospital. I think this comment was meant for someone else.
