Maybe insurance companies could be our ally here. Warn them of the risks and get them to ensure all hospital TVs do not get internet access.

There go the already-terrible tv options in hospital rooms.

After spending a significant amount of time in the hospital I found a portable router, Android TV/Chromecast and a universal tv remote to be really useful

They are in my go bag now for when I have to go last minute and get checked in

Not sure if you're being serious, but being in extreme pain and/or drugged out of your mind on painkillers, TV is often the only good thing to do in that situation. Podcasts work too, but something stupid please.

There shouldn't be any overlap between TVs used for entertainment and TVs used for medical purposes.
