This story was relayed to me by my cousin Love. This may sound like an urban legend but I believe this is true because she is not a type who would lie on something like this.
This happened when she was still a nursing student at one of the medical colleges somewhere in Quezon City (she graduated few years ago).
It was around 2:00 am and their hospital duties has just ended. After arranging her things, she headed home right away and used the elevator with one of her female classmates. I don't remember if she mentioned from which floor they came but the elevator door opened on the 4th floor and a little boy of around 7-8 years old entered the lift. My cousin, as friendly as she is, asked the boy where he is going to which he answered, "hinahanap ko po nanay ko (I'm looking for my mother) " The little boy alighted on the 2nd floor and they notice the hospital bracelet on his foot.
The next day, during one of their class, Love asked their professor what a foot bracelet means on a patient and the answer she got shocked her. It meant that the patient is already dead. Despite that disturbing discovery, Love and her friend decided to just keep that experience to themselves. They were afraid that the others might not believe them and even make fun of them.
She only divulged this story when I asked her if she has encountered creepy incidents like this because I know that it is very common among nursing students and I am very interested in such occurrence. And I swear it gave me goosebumps all over.

* (My guess is that this really happens every now and then to unsuspecting people. It became so usual, some made the story more interesting and had different versions 'til it went down to the list of urban legends.)
Valkricry: I appreciate you taking time to read the story and thanks for the comment too 😁. I guess if that happened to me, I would have disregard it as well and be confident that he won't be able to leave the building and pass through security. And I would be skeptic and scared of it's presence right away 😨
* (They might have helped him if the little guy seemed worried or crying while looking for his mother like he is really lost inside the hospital. However, he was composed and calmly rode the elevator, stood there like he knows his way around and got off. The weirdness of the situation made them let him on his own)
