I think we're looking at two different aspects of HOSPITAL.
1) Care unit (I believe your correct and within the law)
2) ER, clearing house prior to being admitted or discharged (this is the one I hear most about)

That's correct Rick. I think of them as a care unit.
You have a lot more experience than I do regarding the hospital and the laws pertaining to them. Like you said, "this is the one I hear most". We both agree that it's a gray area and I will continue to carry in them until such time as it's better defined in the law.
I hope I don't have to visit a hospital often and if I am caught it will be because I had to use it. In that case I'll take my chances with the jury. I would like to know if any LEO's are on this board and would they arrest someone caught carrying in a hospital.
