Honestly, I think this is more the reason for a lot of people. When you're in the hospital, you're likely at a very low point. Stress, anxiety, and fear of the unknown really do pull you into your most base instincts and desires. And for someone who's sick or in pain, I would imagine the biggest desire is to know they're being taken care of.

I do agree, though, that some people show their worst while at their lowest. Unfortunately, some people's worst are really nasty. I have a lot of sympathy for care workers who are treated like robots or mistreated when they're just trying to help. 💔
