    Granted we all visit those very close to us when they are in the hospital, without question.

    But what about those who are not that close? Do you just send a card and avoid the hospital visit?

    In a strange circumstance, my aunt's (aunt by marriage) brothers were in a vehicle accident this week and were flown to my city for treatment. I sorta/kinda know one of the guys, but not the other one. I wasn't wanting to go to the hospital though my dad expected me to.

    I ended up calling the one I know all each night this week to see if he needed anything. He didn't and I assume he didn't want me there any more than I wanted to be.

    I hate going to the hospital period. Can't stand going to my grandma's assisted living facility, either. Gives me the heebie jeebies.

    It doesn't bother me. It bothers my husband, he hates it. Not all patients necessarily want visitors but how would you know?

    However, I had trouble looking at one friend in the hospital who was desperate to live, and she looked so bad. Worse, I knew from the first visit she was going to die. Other friends thought I was just being a pessimist, and that I was wrong. But. . . she died.

    The hospital itself does not bother me, I was a Nursing Assistant for years. But as pointed out, sick ppl don't always want to be visited.

    Altho I have never stayed in the hospital more than a couple of days at a time - I imagine if I were not too uncomfortable or drugged I might look forward to a visit. But the time I was in I was not really wanting to be visited. It is usually just a social obligation for most ppl.

    I haven't been to a hospital since I was born.

    It can be uncomfortable for me, if they real close though, I'll go visit regardless.

    It doesn't bother me much. I remember going to see my co-worker in the hospital the day before she passed and I didn't know her that well. I went just to show my support.

    Not comfortable, but depending on who it is I'll do it anyway.
