No because those types of patients drain the system. No one would admit that type of patient for the fun of it. It's expensive to take care of those types of patients. The hospital makes money from elective procedures and surgeries. If you come in for pneumonia, they are literally plotting how to get you out once you hit the door. Hospitals hate those types of patients.
