Not Private Enough Hospital

Hospital Visitor Etiquette.

• Do not greet patient "wag waan pussy?"
• Do not ask if it's the psychiatric ward.
• Do not trick invalid into getting out of bed in order to lay there yourself.
• The electronically-operated orthopaedic bed is not a toy. 
• Do not hog TV remote control and change channels more frequently than once every 15 seconds.
• Do not eat patient's left-over lunch or grapes.
• Do not rip pages out of patient's magazines.
• Do not debate the endless possibilities of what could be administered via the IV line in front of your mother.
• Do not offer to bring such substances in on your next visit.
• Do not outstay your welcome.
