It makes no mention how how they even got this woman’s number in the first place if he had nothing but a Social Sec card on him. Nor do they investigate the policies of the hospital as to how they make an ID in these circumstances and whether or not they followed their own policies.

Those are two pretty simple and basic pieces of info the author didn’t ask.
