How long can they keep you in for? Just wondering, would be nice to know so they dont turn round tomorrow and say they're gonna keep me in until I'm 98. Obviously being sarcastic but you understand what I mean.

Generally I wouldn't put a limit on how long they could keep you in as it really depends on what's wrong with you to begin with

There's currently a shortage of nurses and beds at the moment, so I wouldn't worry about them keeping you in too long

Thats not all entirely true... Yes there is a shortage of beds (depending on area) but that has nothing to do with the length of time a person will have to stay in hospital. Obviously it depends why you're in hospital as to how long your stay in hospital will be. They will not keep you in any longer then you need to be.

It all depends on what you're going there for. If it's just a general check-up for something it could be a few hours, if it's for something more serious it could obviously be a lot longer!

You don't know the reason behind me going or not so if you'd refrain from comments like this then ya know, it'd be appreciated.

It really depends on your condition. I've been kept in for a day when I had operations on my ears, but I was kept in 5 days when I had an asthma attack, so it depends on the severity of your condition, and your recovery rate, most of which is usually decided at the hospital.

It's a valid point to make. If you "cba" to go in because of weather change, you should make the hospital aware of it because it means that your position could be taken by someone else much sooner.
