"Federal Rights Are Reinstated" at NY Hospitals
Families locked away from loved ones, loved one left alone at the mercy of for-profit big medicine... it's coming to a close.
From a lawyer friend:
“NY Department of Health tells hospital CEOs and administrators that they may no longer restrict visitation without a reasonable clinical or safety concern. Federal Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are no longer necessary, federal patient rights are re-instated. Non-compliant hospitals may be subject to enforcement action.
Still falls short of recognizing the patient’s right to have a family member at the bedside 24/7, but it is a step in the right direction.”
Again, there is a way to get around it, all a hospital needs is a "reasonable clinical or safety concern." Considering that one third of hospital patients suffer from AB-resistance infections and one in ten of those die of the acquired conditions, maybe, it is hospitals themselves that must be banned. :)
Thanks for this notice.
May we stand ag this malfeasance in our “hell”thcare “systems” & advocate for the rights of the sick & dying.
