As a writer, I interviewed some people and it was amazing what people think happens in the hospital. One lady was in the hospital for 3 weeks, finally got her first pass for a weekend, went home for only the Saturday but it just didn't go well. So she returned to the hospital. She called her husband later on, at which time he said his mother called, asked how she was and wondered why she couldn't have at least done some laundry when she was home for those few hours.
