If you're old and have lots of cash. They will keep you doped up and have you stay for ages as they rack up the hospital bill. This happened to a family member. A well respected Doctor friend had to demand they stop giving her anything. She woke up and was fine. The bill was $180k and it would have been more if they were not stopped.
A retired RN I knew, who was of the highest moral character, said the same to me when she was treated for cancer at a prestigious local hospital. She was very distressed about how she was treated. The hospital staff did this despite her own medical background. Her words for one of the nurses there were particularly harsh. This was nearly 40 years ago.
I was hospitalized with what they called COVID pneumonia, even though I had no trouble breathing at all. The nurse would come in every morning and say, "You're going to die today!" And I would say, very aggressively, "NO I'M NOT!" I reported her to the charge nurse and she disappeared. And I didn't die!
