Certain events have led me to be unable to trust unions to act in the interests of their own members, let alone anyone else's. That's not necessarily germane to this particular topic though.
I'm actually a bit boggled at how much of an issue visitation rights seem to be. One would think a person could just say "Mr. X can visit me if I'm in the hospital. So can Mr. Y. And Miss Z too, while I'm at it," have this written down somewhere, and then not have to freaking deal with it until they wanted to change the list, and you certainly wouldn't have to explain why these people should be allowed visitation, because it's no one's damn business but yours. But somehow, it seems to end up being all sorts of people's business except the person who's actually in the hospital.
It's hard to get excited about this in particular when the whole system seems like complete bullshit.
