However, let's remember that a hospital is not a building..but a "legal entity"..a corporation. "Born" in a hospital means charter/origin within the corporation. If the hospital is a public entity under a bankruptcy claim...then perhap the fruit of the hospital is.... But remember its just a corporation--it doesn't exist in nature.

Relevantly...I'd considered starting a thread headed "A New Trend". Just recently, someone went to deposit money to a bank account. Now for some reason, a direct deposit form with bank account information and routing nubmer and all that printed out automatically from a printer by the teller. AFTER the item printed out--AUTOMATICALLY--without ANY request from the one depositing the funds, the teller asked "Would you like a direct deposit application form? If not I'll shred it for you." Normally there would just be a receipt printed and that would be all! The one depositing the money was extremely puzzled since it stunk of poo that by simply depositing funds that a document containing routing number, account number, name on account or the like would automatically be printed out without any request and that the financial institution would have the audacity to ask if it was wanted AFTER it was already printed WITHOUT request--without asking. Of course, the teller effectively said "We can shred it for you" immediately after the printout was made. But he knew better because if he left it, it would be a kind of abandonment (1099-A).
So it gets more interesting, I thereafter found that another financial institution was doing similar things. They were WITHOUT REQUEST FROM THE CUSTOMER printing out documents that weren't related to the counter transaction and which contained sensitive information and then asking saying they would shred the items. The lady I spoke with said when she insisted that she would take the documents herself they got quite pushy about allowing them to shred the documents INSTEAD. Why?
Is it that they want you to abandon something? To abandon a claim?
