Enough with the privacy

The privacy issue is going too far! I believe if a person does not want the public to know they are in the hospital they should be able to leave their name off the board. But people like my mother who is hospitalized frequently in Meridian should be able to have visitors who live there who have known her for years. It used to do her so much good for old friends and coworkers to come see her. Now, her days are very lonely when she is there. As everybody knows, it is impossible to let everybody know when you put someone in the hospital. One of the hospitals told me that this was started by Hillary Clinton and the hospitals could not do anything. Isn't there something we can do? Maybe somebody will agree with me and we can get this changed! I think it would help so much!
