DO NOT TAKE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER HERE! My father is hospitalized and they will not let me see him. I have given them my ID, offered my birth certificate and social security card, whatever I could to prove to them that I was his daughter. Because I wasn't with him when he was admitted and according to Nurse Ratchet who answers the phone "real family would have the secret code we issued when he came in." He could be dying! "We're just following protocol," they say. Well, I've never had to deal with this before nor at any other hospital. I'll have to wait until he's discharged or I get a call from the coroner.
