I need someone to make a telephone call for me?

I don’t understand. Why can’t you call?

Wut

What kind of healthcare facility is this? Why won’t they allow you to talk to him any longer? Why is it specifically a cordless phone? Why isn’t he allowed a phone in the room? How would they know you’re calling from a cordless phone? I’m guessing by “cordless” you mean a landline phone?

Isn’t this some kind of scam…but, don’t we need a number to call? Where’s the number!?!?!

I think you should call a direct family member of your friend and have them do this call. Perhaps his mother, wife, sister, or other very close relative would get some information. There are very strict laws now about what they are allowed to tell people on the phone. Family members are more able to get information. I just mention this because if he had been moved, discharged, relocated to a different facility, or something they might not tell a non family member details about it on the phone. There’s some crazy law they keep telling me about, HIPPA or HIPPO. He might not be there to hand the phone to even, but they couldn’t tell you that if it were the case. Usually they arrange with the patient permission to talk to “emergency contacts” which are family members usually. The patient usually signs some permission thing to allow them to call a direct relative in emergencies etc.

If they know your voice and won’t let you speak to him any more there is a reason for that. Maybe you are upsetting him or the family doesn’t want you to contact him for some reason. I’m sure you are worried about your friend, but if you aren’t allowed contact, then it could be in his best interest and you should maybe let it go for now, hard as that may be.

Why can’t you call yourself? Are you a stalker?

Call the administrator of the health care facility and explain your problem.

I hope this is not a way to violate an order of protection.

It just seems shady.

If you call too many times, the healthcare facility can and will restrict your calls. They have a job to do, too, and cannot do it if you are continually calling. Especially if it ties up the phone that others need.

You must be calling too much. I would just go to him.
