    I’ve never understood how it can even be legal for hospitals to have parking fees for patients. It’s not like you became ill simply to take advantage of the parking situation so why are they charging people?

    I had to go to hospital because of a seven tendon. Which I thought would probably be a quick fix but they were complications so it took forever and I had to get my girlfriend who had known for about 2 weeks at this point to move the car too long to stay. I did not consider ever the possibility that the parking people would just be reasonable

      In the case of my local hospital, they do it because there are apartment complexes nearby and the residents used to abuse the hospital’s parking spots when they couldn’t find a spot in their residence.
