I guess it's just a case professional courtesy among doctors. I do respect your opinion as a medical professional.

Believe me I see your point and even agree with it.
I'm just trying to let everyone know that no matter what they want or say they will be assigned an attending physician while they stay at the hospital. That attending will see them every day and dismiss them when it is time. This is our system like it or not. So having a PCP that you know can make sense in TV.
