[nagdu] Going to Jail

[Chasity Jackson]

I did not know that guide dogs were not allowed in ICU units. When my 
boyfriend was in ICU back in 2002, they allowed me to bring my guide with me 
and we stayed most of the time. How about recovery rooms? Are guide dogs 
allowed in recovery rooms, even if they are right next door to the operating 
room, with little separation? When I had  surgery on my  foot, they said my 
dog couldn't come into the recovery room because it was so close to the 
operating room. Was just curious about that.
