Hospitals are dreadfully boring places to spend one's time. Waiting rooms after being removed from our friends' room are doubly so. They are rooms for waiting for answers which are not readily available when one isn't related by blood (and how would they know?) to the person which they are visiting. It becomes very frustrating. And boring. To merely have to wait.
This is true until the very moment in which they are not.
I have this to say about modern medicine: They have come a long way since Asclepius and his snakes. Relying on dreams and visions has become of thing of the long ago past in order to make room for textbooks and gross anatomy. I cannot tell you which approach I find more reliable after seeing what I've seen and hearing what I've heard.
But I could certainly tell you which I find to be more entertaining.
And there are other, smaller, better rooms in which to wait for unforthcoming news. Places with coffee pots.
