What does the patient bill of rights mean in the hospital?

It's pretty much their right to doctor patient confidentiality, right to deny treatments under certain conditions, and other rights.

It is supose to mean that you have rights. But let me tell you first Hand That the most workers in the hospital or there just to get a pay check. They are very uncareing. Dont ever trust your Loveones at a hospital. The Horror stories i can tell you. Theres a reson why so many people Get sicker in the Hospital When They get admitted. Drunh workers On drugs- Lazy nurses-Lazy or tired doctors. Race problems.

I'm pretty sure it means that you have the right to access information about yourself, about all treatment options what medications you are having and why, the right to choose what health care you don't want. you have the right to the best possible care available to you. ALSO if the patient is of sound mind has the responsiblity to treat all medical staff in a decent acceptable manner
