My father passed away after a cardiac failure in a foreign country. The
hospital has an interesting policy: while they are willing to hold the body
in the "frost room" until I arrive for the funeral, I will be able to see
my father face to face only for 14 days after the death. (Unfortunately, it
takes 3 weeks to get a visa for that country. Yes, I explained the
situation to the embassy. They don't care.) Effective from the 15th day,
only a closed coffin awaits me upon arrival.
The Question: Is there any medical logic to the above two week show limit?
Would any doctors here care to comment, what is it? I know already there is
no logic to the decision of the embassy, now I am only trying to see if
there's any to the decision of the hospital.
(Sorry if the post stretches to the edge of the group's topic, I didn't
find any more appropriate ng's.)
