> Many hospitals conduct nightly wealth screenings — using software that culls public data such as property records, contributions to political campaigns and other charities — to gauge which patients are most likely to be the source of large donations. > Those who seem promising targets for fund-raising may receive a visit from a hospital executive in their rooms, as well as extra amenities like a bathrobe or a nicer waiting area for their families. Fabulous. So when my parents are in their 80s and out of it on painkillers after a surgery, they'll be preyed upon for donations by some fast talking executive who has trolled through their public records to see how much their home is worth. Are your bedsheets uncomfortable? (guess what - everything is uncomfortable after major surgery) Just donate and we'll fix that for you. Sleazy to the max.
