The problem with the hospital is you typically have no choice in an emergency. My mom died in a rehab during COVID after a fall. ****ers made me talk to her through a window.
Much like other university programs, medicine has also been infected with chosen doctrine.

Damn. Sorry for your loss. I had a similar situation at the height of the Wu flu hysteria. Relative was recommended to go from hospital to a SNF for a couple weeks to get strength back. OK, they let me take relative inside get set up in room, but, just like at the hospital, warned that once I left, I wouldn't be allowed back in to visit. Went back the next day, they did the "we'll open the patient's window and you can stand outside and talk." Stupid, but OK. Same for second day. Third day, "we can lift the blinds on the tinted window, but we won't open it." I guess we're supposed to shout through the glass. Oh, you can call the room phone and talk that way.
Meanwhile, they wouldn't let the patients out of their rooms, meaning, no visits to the therapy rooms to use the equipment, etc. Relative wasn't handling this well, basically being held in solitary confinement, crying and wailing. I called them and told them I was removing relative to bring back to my house.
"Oh, you can't do that, against medical advice, etc." I'll be there in an hour, either have relative at the door packed up and ready, or I'll be coming in and getting the relative myself. Pick up was uneventful, but I heard other patients shouting in the background, presumably, also confined in solitary, in their rooms. Unconscionable how people were treated.
That was 4 days of Hell, I can't imagine putting relative through that for 2 weeks, separated from family and even from just the community of other patients/residents.
