"Some hospitals require the visitor to set an appointment. Fail to show up
in person, and you will get a visit from local law enforcement."

The police will be investigating you not keeping an appointment? Really?

While we should absolutely ban crowbars and hammers

When I have been in hospital in the UK, visitors have just wandered in at any reasonable time, even outside official visiting hours, and asked the ward staff if it was ok. Mostly it is, for a quick visist, if it is not done too often, unless things are very busy.

That may be changing soon, as there are far too many attacks on staff, usually by drunken louts in casualty, and that needs to be stopped, but in a normal hospital, making an appointment to visit a patient is almost unheard of here. They do limit the number of visitors at one time to any patient, and make some wait outside the ward until others are finished, which is fair and reasonable.
