[quote=Anonymous]I've been a friend/family member who sat and visited with hospitalized people (not just as a simple visit, but as the person who stays with them and advocates for them). In my experience, as long as the patient is conscious themselves, it's no problem getting information from doctors and nurses, no matter who you are. If the patient is unconscious or sedated, then you may run into issues. Someone with TBI might be having difficulty expressing themselves and making their needs known. They could be confused, disoriented. A busy hospital staff doesn't have time to tend to their comfort, especially if they cannot express themself well. It would make sense for family members to not want to leave this person to fend for him or herself most hours of the day.[/quote]
