I have to calm them down often and sometimes I have to keep them from attacking staff.
I thought the hospital would have a rule about everybody wearing a mask.
Should hospital visitors wear a face mask?
All visitors should be instructed to wear a facemask or cloth face covering at all times while in the facility, perform frequent hand hygiene, and restrict their visit to the patient's room or other area designated by the facility.
Health care workers donāt want to fight the mask culture war, but theyāre being forced to.

Doctorsā new coronavirus threat: Patients who refuse to wear masks
Health care workers donāt want to fight the mask culture war, but theyāre being forced to.
A urologist in Florida, who requested anonymity because of fear of losing his job, tells Vox he had his first patient refuse to wear a mask on May 13. The doctor works at a private clinic, which recently instituted a policy requiring all patients to wear a mask while in the building to minimize transmission of the virus. The patient was given a mask at the front desk, but refused to put it on.
āThe nurse asked him to put his mask on if he wanted to be seen,ā the urologist said. āHe got verbally aggressive with her, saying he had a right not to wear a mask, and that we were denying his constitutional rights.ā
