Should be no problem with me visiting, getting status updates, being in the room with her when I visit, right? except for the fact that I am also a woman. (Married in a United Christ Church in Iowa).<br />So I have had to carry papers, etc, with me. And yes, I could be denied visiting and have been. I could lie and say i am her sister, but we have been together 18 years and I needn't lie.<br />This bill is necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126825064641092276.post-36263498232212302602010-01-11T20:47:44.932-05:002010-01-11T20:47:44.932-05:00Khurt 21: Thanks for letting me know about the de...Khurt 21: Thanks for letting me know about the defective link.

Hospital personnel isn't supposed to know, which is why there are ways it can be proven, but as an aside, is there a rash of hospital crashing that I'm not aware of?!? I've heard of wedding crashing, but I don't know of any people who crash hospitals to see people with whom they don't have relationships.Chris Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126825064641092276.post-50877187903834536642010-01-11T20:43:56.379-05:002010-01-11T20:43:56.379-05:00So, hospital personnel are supposed to know the st...So, hospital personnel are supposed to know the status of someone's relationship? So, in an emergency situation, with no input from the patient, some clown can walk in an indicate that they have the right to see someone. <br /><br />There is a good reason why there are limitations to visitation.
