"Hospital Rest"

[lumberjim]

I would bet that it had something to do with your gregarious nature, sir.

Your smile is infectious, and even hospital staffs don't have to be inoculated against that. Yet.
. ...although, who knows. ...I could also envision you being one of those grouchy patients that is mortified about being sick and having to be cared for, so they put up a gruff front.

I hope you've gotten whatever put you in there under control. But Maybe .... if this happens again, ...and we all hope it does not. ... You could let us know while you are in there, so some of us could come by and see this excellent treatment for ourselves.

You can still catch people off guard by being kind and addressing them as a human being, and genuinely caring about them and connecting with them. They haven't outlawed this yet, although the 'staring at your phone' syndrome is pretty hard to overcome. It's better than dark sunglasses.
