Am I wrong for not going to see my friend in the Hospital?

That's a personal choice. If your uncomfortable in hospital setting then stay away. Send a nice card (ICU usually won't allow flowers). Ask the family if there's anything they need-sometimes they're so wrapped up they don't have time to do errands, etc. Some peolple don't like alot of visitors and want their privacy. Don't feel guilty. Remember "the only way to guarantee failure is to try to please everybody". Good luck to you and your friend.
No of course not...You would probably offend her if you went in and couldn't bear to look at her...
It is normal to feel that way, but you should set your own feelings aside for a minute and think how much you could brighten your friend's day. Put yourself in her position. Wouldn't you want a good friend to come see you if you were in pain? Just being there is the most important thing.
No it is not wrong. If you are a nervous wreck when you go in it will probably make your friend worse. BUT.. if you can muster together the nerve to go I would. I am sure it would mean a lot to your friend. Kind of put yourself in their place. Even if you just go for a minute. If anything at least send a note or a small gift if he is alert, maybe a favorite maganize or something. Good luck to you and your friend I hope for a speedy recovery.
Would she even be able to remember you or even know who you are? It may make her feel better to go see her, but since you are not super fond of the tubes and things of that nature in hospitals and if she wouldn't even remember you then don't worry about seeing her. Can she talk? You could just call her on the phone and let her know you are thinking of her since you are worried about looking at her in the hospital. I know that when I was in the hospital (I've been several times) that I usually didn't feel well enough to really even want visitors so it didn't bother me...I'd rather have them come see me when I got home. Good luck to her!
Of course not. Instead of visiting her, you can buy a card or flowers, and whenever she comes home, show a lot of appreciation and thanks, and mostly friendliness.
