hey jacen,
yup, like flint mentioned, depending on the hospital she is staying at, it might be frown upon, and/or not allowed due to the equipment that maybe be monitoring her and/or other people within the immediate vicinity.
other than that, i like my jvc's not bad, and also holds a good charge. i havent had to worry about it slipping off or breaking, since its less than 40 bucks. decent enough for my commute to and from work
