Ross said: Yes, be PROACTIVE and PERSISTENT. They will ask you to leave many times, INSIST on staying unless your absolutely exhausted and must get some rest. Also, make sure you have Durable Power of Attorney just in case you need to see his medical records, fire someone and get him better care, etc,. It would be wise to consult your own attorney to have one made.
Couldn't agree with him more. Hospitals can be terrific and they can also be a nightmare. You never know how that will go. I have seen excellent care and horrible care in the same unit of the same hospital at different times. I cannot say why.
But I do not trust much about "good care". It only takes one nasty or incompetent person to ruin an otherwise normal recovery.
Try to have someone there at all times to keep an eye on things.
