But ofttimes visiting works a hardship on the person who is sick. And when he is in the hos pital, that institution must be concerned, first of all with the welfare of the patient. Local hos pitals are no exception to the problem of visitors who sometimes forget this fact. In the average hospital, visiting is usually welcomed. Then, in order to keep that welcome extended, here are some pointers in the poetic style of King James English. Maybe they will help you toward being the “well-behaved visitor”: The well-behaved visitor trampeth not on hard heels; neither doth he shout. He walketh softly and speaketh quietly, for ill people are easily disturbed. He remaineth not too long. He (or is it more often she?) might like to chat all afternoon, but is considerate of the weary patient, especially in hot weather. He talketh of the pleasant things in life; smileth often and his demeanor is exceeding cheerful. Though at heart he be a pessimist, he knoweth the patient hath his own troubles. The good visitor percheth not upon the bed, jouncing the patient’s aching head or obstructing the restless foot. The thoughtful visitor beareth with him no cold in the head. Yea though he may consider a sneeze or a cough as nothing, he inflicteth not his germs upon the helpless patient. He thinketh much about gifts. If he bringeth flowers they are of delicate fragrance or a plant which lasts longer. He considereth the appropri ateness of fruit or candy for those with troubled stomachs. The well-behaved visitor is welcome for he observeth the visiting hours. The patients and hospital personnel smile upon him, for he is as a precious jewel— above price.
