Do I get my friend a Hospital gift?

My friend is geting out of icu @ going to physical therpay. How do I act (I dont want to overwhelm him). What should I say/not say. Should I get him a gift if so w/ ?

Answer #1

As a nursing student who takes care of many patients who come out of ICU, I am going to tell you to be yourself. I would suggest waiting until your friend is out of ICU and visiting him before getting him a gift so that you can see what is already there and what he might want/need. You want to aim for something practical or something he’ll enjoy a lot. Hospital rooms don’t have a lot of space for extras. Please be yourself. Your friend is trying to heal…and part of healing means getting back to “normal”…with his old friends. If you want to get him a gift, that’s a swell idea, but more than anything, your friend needs you to be the friend you were before he got sick.

Answer #2

ok, sweetie dont txt him… that is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Do you want that to be his memory of you and this event? you’ll be the person who txted him, when you could’ve been the person who was there, the person who gave flowers/a nice card or gave something meaningful. Give him something, he will appreciate it because he’ll no that you were thinking of him. If you were coming out of the ICU would you want a txt or a gift and or to see and talk to the people who have been supporting you? Also, don’t be afraid to talk to your friend, if anything he’ll want to hear your voice. When people are in the hospital they love for family and friends to be around, I know I did…I didn’t even care about a gift.

Answer #3

Answer #4

Answer #5

I say get him a gift. Just give him something small, or give him something to encourage him with his recovery. EVERYONE likes receiving a gift or something that will cheer you up after getting out of the hospital. A lot of guys even like getting flowers, as long as it’s not a huge bouquet of assorted flowers… it has to their favorite flower.

Answer #6

Buy him cupcakes their a gift saying I don’t love you but I do really care about you and hope you get better plus maybe he’ll share with you
