Tell us about that time you were hospitalized with the roommate from HELL? How BAD was it? Was you're family chill visitors? Did they eat your food? ?

Not just stealing chairs for their WHOLE family of 17 ten minutes before visiting hours end...

Not just the WHOLE family feeling like their gonna fall through the partition curtain...

Not just the "What's an inside voice?"...

Not just the WHOLE family airing their dirty laundry as you try to cover your ears and pretend to be sleeping...

Not just the tough guy asshole demanding to see the doctors, screaming at the nurses and eating what left on their relatives tray...

Not just the relative of theirs who picks up the chart and plays doctor...

C'mon! Amuse me on a Saturday night!

FYI: When you do have to go to the hospital to visit someone, ALWAYS stop by the maternity ward BEFORE you leave. It's LIFE AFFIRMING to see all those JOYOUS BEAMING ELATED people and their fucked up looking alien elongated skull bundle of screams...

Promise me you will!! It's the best and ONLY way to ever leave a hospital when you're relative isn't doing well...

I spent a month in the hospital a long time ago. i was in a room with three other guys. One was an older guy who was senile. He smoked a pipe that smelled like shit. I told the nurses that he was smoking it in the middle of the night and I was afraid he would light himself on fire. The staff confiscated all his stuff. Looking back i am horrified that they allowed smoking in hospital rooms.

I remember smoking in hospitals all too well. It does seem incredulous today!!

The nurses were the worst offenders.

I spent a week in a hospital because of my gallbladder and a stone stuck in my bile duct, they kept changing patients in my room and they made a lot of noise all night, never had much sleep that week

Sadly typical

He was a COPD patient and had to keep the room at a very, very cold temperature. I complained until they moved me to another room. It took 2 days. I had 4 broken limbs.
