As a former ICU nurse and then supervisor of the hospital [View all]

If ANYONE showed up to visit an ICU patient, they were identified as family. If not they were not allowed to visit unless the family specifically asked.

I would have denied Trump access to Steve Scallia unless his wife wanted it to happen and if she did, I would have stood in the room to make sure he did not accidentally mess with anything. He seems so ignorant, he might push a button and do harm.
