I thought your suggestions were excellent. It’s a shame that in the instance you cited, the others in the hospital room responded to this visitor at all. Without any response from the others, she/he would eventually have stopped talking, I presume.

That said, having recently been in the hospital myself, I would have told the whole lot of them to please leave!
