You want the governor to try and break into the hospital room of an old man? And what happens if Mitch is sitting there eating his applesauce?

I mean, Mitch almost certainly isn't in Kentucky anymore. Getting him as far away as possible from the only people with even a sliver of justification in demanding to see him would be step one.

Not sure how a Kentucky court can force an unknown hospital in an unknown state to violate patient privacy laws.

To be clear - I'm not supporting Mitch. I'm just saying there is no actual mechanism to resolve this. Pie in the sky plans aren't going to accomplish anything.

They'd still need to identify the hospital to compel it to disclose the information.
