Only as a visitor after my Dad had a triple heart by-pass. I've never seen so many tubes and pumps and monitors in all my life.

Both, as a visitor for both of my children, and to recover after having surgery.

Just as a patient - I busted both ankles 5 years ago.

twice as a visitor the first was almost 20 years ago and it was the neonatal ICU when my son was born he aspirated some of the fluids and was born with pnumonia spent almost 2 weeks there before we could take him home. The second time was almost 3 years ago and I won't get into the details but aside from my son it was the hardest time in my life. I was a regular fixture there for nearly three weeks til the person's parents finally realized she would never make a full recovery and have a normal life and they had the plug pulled she passed within minutes of them removong all the machines that were artificially keeping her alive. She was my fiancee at the time.

As a visitor. My sister one day at home just fainted and collapsed to the floor. For some unknown reason she had a very low white blood cell count which at that point just caused her to pass out. So anytime we went to visit her we had to be cautious because her immune system was very low. That was a couple years ago now, I don't think they ever figured out exactly why it happened, they just did whatever they needed to do to fix it.

Many times, as a visitor. The older we get, the more of these things we go through. It is either family or friends. I often think..that.. when we are young, we help each other through life. When we get old(er), the same people help each other ..out of life. Sorry, don't mind an old moody guy. It will pass. It usually does.
