Also, their first example is a horrible example. Patient in a coma contrary to what is portrayed in media, don’t stay in hospitals. It seemed like the first hospital was trying to work with the family but could not. They normally go to subacute facilities or home. Patients can’t live in hospitals. If they did, we wouldn’t be able to treat anyone.

Second case though, AV. That’s fucked. We treat no matter the status and don’t really ask unless they tell us and want assistance. Social workers in CA very good with resource linking and helping people return to community.
