    So why do patients have to pay the fee, why doesn’t the hospital have some system where they go oh yeah, this person with this registration plate has been admitted, leave them alone?

    Why is it on the patient who may very well have a lot more going on than simple pain to arrange matters.

    Because if I had overstayed my 3-hour limit I would have absolutely been charged. They use the excuse of needing to keep spaces open as an excuse to charge people. It’s nothing more than exploitative.

      It sounds like the hospital did handle it. I don’t think it’s an excuse that they want those places to remain for those actually visiting quickly.
