Straight couples never experience interference from family in care decisions?

Posted by TWuG Apr 12 '13, 08:09

Because being straight doesn't eliminate meddling family trying to interfere with the spouse overseeing care.

Put it this way - there was a disruptive altercation, okay. But why were the people without POA allowed to stay? -- nm - Max Apr 12, 08:42

        no, but there's still animus that leads to the same kind of he said/she said arguments over who's in charge. - mafic Apr 12, 08:32 1

        That seems to be a needlessly restrictive reading of the situation. Families fight. Why they fight is almost beside the point when that fight - TWuG Apr 12, 08:27 1

    - The hospital isn't letting in a disruptive spouse. The spouse was fighting with the family before staff got involved. - TWuG Apr 12, 08:20 2

        Then I truly do not understand your point. - TWuG Apr 12, 08:42
    - no he isnt. you are stuck with a narrow view that because the patient, and his partner are gay, this must all have happened because of that. - tRuMaN Apr 12, 08:19 3
      - So your retort is "You're being purposefully acute". I like this. Funny. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 08:39
