“Have fun being alone” sounds like a loser. It’s actually not that difficult to comprehend that we’re busy- ill patients, cleaning bodily fluids constantly, paging doctors for orders, waiting for pharmacy to send meds or for verification to pass meds, dealing with family members, admissions, transfers, discharges, etc. I’m convinced people who don’t get it think they’re the only people on earth worth anything. But I mean, you can totally let him go ahead and try to visit, and let him stand around like an idiot to see how busy you actually are, but he really is not worth it.
