Just read this thread by the same OP:

> [@Visiting someone in the hospital?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/visiting-someone-in-the-hospital/603595/1):
>
> I have a question: today an acquaintance got in a really bad car wreck, their car is totaled & they are in the hospital. Although, I am not really cool with this person, I still feel really bad and feel obligated to go and visit them…problem is if I go I would have to spend a good couple of minutes there and there’s not really much me and this person have to talk about(besides the accident)…so it would feel extremely awkward if I decide to go. Would it look really bad if I don’t go? Or should I just send something to let her know that I thought of her?

OK, it’s a woman, but between her not being cool with the acquaintance and this thread, I wondered if she had second plans on not taking revenge…
