Was that literally what they told you? "Administrators" and "you need to leave"?

Because often times in hospitals, the family areas double as a sort of consultant area for patient's family to speak with doctors and occasionally lawyers if matters of a will need to be addressed. Particularly outside of ICUs where the family cant meet with the doctor in the room.

Sounds dickish, but not really distopian

For context it's a palliative care facility. Everyone in the family room is there visiting patients being treated for chronic pain, mostly terminal.

I'd guestimate bout a third of the hospital is the administrative wing.

And seeing the way the staff are treated the admin can go suck the big one.

Yeah that context should have been in the title

Are you positive they weren't meeting with a patient's family member? In a "we got some bad news and need to get some things sorted asap" way?

Do the administrators not have meeting rooms of their own, that they have to chuck out patient's families?

Even if not, the family room next level down was empty.

What would be different about the family room on the next level down? Presumably that one would be intended for family of patients on the next level down...

Based on "you need to leave," they kicked out patients' families who were already in the lounge, instead of going to one that nobody was already in.
