There is a mitzva of bikur cholim. Imagine if you need to put on tefillin but you missed the “visiting hours” to don the tefillin, wouldn’t you become pushy and insist?! A choleh is a cheftza shel mitzvah. The choleh is your tefillin, he is your lulov to shokel. The lulov may get shook up by the person doing the mitzvah, but we gotta do it, sorry lulov. I need to do my mitzvah and NO, it needs to be done today, right now – (ain mavirin al hamitzvos, mitzva haba l’yadcha al tchamtzena etc). Do we really have the right to disregard the mitzva because the nurse decided it is past the “zman” for visiting?!
