I guess if you are run by the Feds you can
ignore federal law.
No matter what, it sure sounds like a very frustrating situation for you. I hope your dad is doing better. |
He is task specific not emotional support, and it was a civilian hospital. Thanks everyone just really shocked and upset to be honest.
He wears this ID at all times...
