The LW didn't say what ward they were in. I was in an "ama" (one step below ICU) ward that only allowed 2 people max per patient for an hour twice a day - spouses not time restricted but no more than 2 total visitors. Many hospital wards want to limit visits as their primary objective is to get the patient healthy and out of there. The rules are confusing, parking is expensive, and many people have hospital anxiety. Let it go and be thankful you got out healthy.
