There's an old joke inside hospitals. Hospitals are where people go to die. Unfortunately, it's not a joke. Hospitals are the definition of asymmetric information warfare. You know nothing and they think they know everything. Absolutely have someone on your side who knows what's what. Family/friend who is a doctor, nurse, PA, NP, etc. Hospitals are so wedged that some actually have "patient advocates" who work there and whos sole job is to be that advocate for the patient and patients family.
