Patient’s Family Member Sobs As She Gets Kicked Out Because Of Her Little Kid, House Supervisor Goes Ballistic

Normally, a patient will be taken to a private recovery room or area right after surgery. The patient might be allowed to see their family member in the recovery section, one visitor at a time but that's normally after they are conscious.

Although, that is for the surgeon to decide as exceptions can be made. However, the recovery units are not open to children under the age of twelve and this is for the patient and their own safety.

Furthermore, you might not be able to give your kids the kind of monitoring they frequently need because you're focused on the patient in the hospital. As a result, many medical practitioners will advise you to leave kids under the age of 12 with a responsible adult when you visit your loved one in the hospital.

In some cases, they may grant requests for children to visit patients. We see such a case in today's story, as the hospital has some pretty strict rules about having children under the age of 12 in a particular unit.

The OP was attending to a patient who was a fresh open heart surgery patient, freshly extubated. The daughter of the patient just hadn’t been able to find a babysitter and had begged their higher management to let her five-year-old daughter in with her.

While updating the mom on the patient, her daughter was running all over the room and opening multiple drawers. This was a health risk, and the OP just had to say something that made the woman sob.
