That's pretty damn awful
Your Mrs. supposed to give birth during visiting hours only??? Doesn't make any sense. Sounds very much like hospital admin at its very worst best to me.

Not sure what they were thinking, really.
For that matter, I'm not sure that they were thinking, other than "Visiting hours are over". Had I not been so exhausted and stunned by this I might have loudly demanded a supervisor and pointed out that they were putting themselves in a position of extreme liability with this, as if I had been in a crash I could have sued their ringpieces off.

I suspect that after I raged in front of those doctors that word got back to someone higher up the food chain and they too realized the liability position that they were in due to this overly rigid adherence to arbitrary rules.

Even now, almost 20 years later, I'm still pretty pissed off about it.
