These are the opposite of the ones who expect magic. Those parents stand around tapping their feet waiting for my instant cure. The ones I'm writing about today are patient, but they want to stay in the hospital until the child is completely well.
It can be hard to get mad at these folks. After all, kids get sick with frightening speed (little shits), and the parents are often just scared. And if the ward isn't busy I really don't mind. But during busy times of the year, I just can't have a kid who really could be taken care of at home taking up a bed. There's a reason we spend time trying to teach you home care. Not to mention that your insurance isn't gonna pay for this. They'll see that we aren't doing anything in the hospital that you can't do at home, and refuse.
