Oh yeah! I *never* "suggest" anything to *anyone* (especially someone in the hospital's care.) There are too many lawsuits, etc., and I'm only a lowly medical/nursing assistant. I have engaged in conversations with people (at their request) but I'm always REALLY careful not to "suggest" anything.
The one exception? - I always suggest that people stay out of the hospital if they can!!! There's only so much care that can be provided in that environment, no matter how good the intentions of the people trying to care for them.
