Kim, As far as I understand, you can visit hospital patients, especially at the patient's request, and give all the BrFdg help she needs. Staff doesn't need to know if you are a friend or a paid consultant. The only issue could be after hours, when visitors are asked to leave. I know several PPLCs who do and have visited clients in the hospital as part of their agreed-upon services.
