How does a patient get up and walk out and nobody notice?
The hospital is probably going to pay dearly for this one.
Will it be Newlin or Morgan?
(story is on that other site)
It's a hospital, not a prison.
So, the crux of the matter will probably be: Did that patient have full mental capacity? If he/she simply had an uncontrollable desire for Starbucks, that's on him, not the hospital.
