I'm sure that it depends on why you are in the hospital. If you are critically ill, then the story may be different, stress on your family and all of that. But if you are in for something routine or for delivery then the story may be different.

After I read this thread (thank you) I remembered something I saw on TV along time ago. It was a news program on over charges. It talked about writing down EVERYTHING you use or take while in the hospital. Then request an itemized bill before you leave the hospital and check your records against theirs. I think this would be lot when you are trying to go home, but it is a good idea to keep track.
