Lack of Communication

Over the weekend I saw first hand how the lack of communication can have negative effects. My Grandfather was admitted into the hospital Friday morning around 9:00. I did not find out about it until almost 4:00. No one called to inform me that he was in the hospital and that is the lack of communication. Thankfully it was nothing too serious and he is fine now, but the situation could have easily been worse and potentially caused tension between family members.
