Why Get Hospitalized?

It never ceases to amaze me how some people come to the hospital and then refuse all treatment! The purpose of coming to the hospital is to get treated for whatever is ailing you. Yet we have people who get admitted and then decide there is nothing we can do for them. They refuse medications, lab work and procedures needed to help with their course of treatment. Yes, you have the right to refuse all these things but why bother to come? It is a waste of everyone's time and energy in my opinion. The bed you occupy is a bed that someone who wants to be treated can have. The interesting part is they dont refuse food, the use of the TV or telephone and usually call for snacks constantly. Gets me wondering sometimes, if maybe they didn't pay their bills and have no food or electricity at home! What do you think?

All comments are greatly appreciated!!!!
