Hey Patrick, good luck with surgery. I work in a hospital and the 2 things I would be concerned about would be theft and privacy policy of the hosptial. It's not uncommon for a patient to go for a test and have their room assignment changed while you are gone. And I don't trust the numerous people that pop into your room all hours of the night. Best John
