Once someone is admitted at hospital, he or she becomes mentally thrashed and for this mental conditions he or she feels himself more sick. At these times if any relative or friend or even a neighbour visits him, the patient feels good. Do you visit you relatives, friends once they are sick and admitted in hospital? How do you boost the patient up?
Have a safe day.

I remember when my fiance (now husband's) mom was in the hospital I visted her everyday. She and I were very close. I always brought in her favorite food (Rice Pudding). I remember her asking me to buy it for her because her son hated rice pudding. She was so worried that her son would not buy for it and I told her don't worry "if her son wants a ride home, he will buy it for her" it made her laugh. I also asked her about some great memories she had growing up and memories about her son (you know the embarrassing stories that the children hope that mom will never tell). It us always good to make the person laugh.

Actually, she had loved me even before her son and I got married. She never had a daughter of her (she had adopted two boys) and when her son and I dated she was thrilled. I think deep down she knew from the start that her son and I were going to get married. When we told her that her son and I were going to get married she said to me "Finally, I have a beautiful daughter" and turned to her son and said "it's about time you asked her to marry you". She also said "I am so glad that even as an adult you still listen to your mom". Unfortunately, she never got to see the wedding because she had passed away six weeks before we got married. Her and I had planned some of the wedding. I wanted her involved and she was so happy.

I always visit my relatives and my friends when they get admitted to hospital. I know how much it means to get a visit. I have been admitted to hospital myself, and I was so happy when my relatives and my friends visited me. I tried to read and to do other things to entertain myself, but I was often bored, so it was really nice to see my family and my friends. The last person in my family who was admitted to hospital was my grandmother, my husband and I went to visit her, and she was really happy to see us.

I am not a big fan of visited somebody in the hospital. I have personal reason for the same. I hate the hospital sterilized smell and half feel like falling sick myself when I go to an hospital. Wherever possible I wait for the person to come back from the hospital and then go and visit the person.
Cheers!

In some hospitals i saw a notice, the more time you with the patient, the more time the patient will take time to be released. They tried to mean that a patient at hospital is all along under treatment. So visiting them prolongs their treatment time. Now you can quote this, if anyone asks you for not visiting someone at hospital.
However, thank you for your response.

hello borhan!
yes i do. whenever there's someone from our family or from my friend or even from my friend's family, i always try my best to get some time visiting them, i know that in that act, i can show them my care & concern for them and it can really cheer them up, as well as their relatives...
and this is the least that i can do to give them moral support, aside from praying for their fast recovery.

Once you visit any patient at hospital. that patient will remember you. The relationship will grow deeper, once he gets released. He or she will think that during his sickness you visited him or her. A friend in need is a....; you remember? That chemistry will work here.
Thank you.

Yes I do... Last two weeks ago we visited my coteacher who just give birth to a baby boy in the hospital... I know that visiting a person who is feeling week will make them happy and strong or would bring them a bit of happiness since that is what I also feel when I was admitted in the hospital for three weeks. I feel such joy whenever someone visits me there.

Yes, I always pay them a visit in the hospital. I bring presents which are mostly fruits. I stay there for a while and be with the patient. I enjoy being in the hospital because sometimes I had chances of meeting other relatives. I know it brings happiness to the patient with us being able to visit him. But if the conditions of the patient is serious and does not need a lot of visits, I respect it and just be there to say Hi and leave after a few minutes. If not, I only get to talk with the immediate members of the family.

Ohhh of course i do visit them when they are being admitted to the hospital. To comfort them in their situation. But i don't like to visit them in that situation though. When visit them, i gave them fruits or something. And sometimes when she's a friend of mine, we just kept laughing in the hospital and tripping with the nurse especially if the nurse is a boy. Lol. Well laughter is the best medicine if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. See my points.
Happy mylotting. =)

O but it depends on what kind of illness my relatives have, if it is not allowed by the doctors to have visits, then we will not, but if it is a mild sickness of course we are, cause seeing friends can make a patient heal a bit more faster.
