One reason for the call for privacy and rest might be that even the treatment for an infection can weaken an elderly person. Remember how Prince Philip's complexion was grey and he was swaying a bit during the Trooping of the Colour, after his first infection? I think someone mentioned that hospital stays and antibiotic treatments can leave a person feeling drained - and that's probably doubly true when another infection happens not long after the first one.
Sad to say, but every time Prince Philip is hospitalized, it's going to leave him a little weaker and take him a little longer to recover, especially because of his age.
I have wondered, too, if there are more to Prince Philip's hospital stays than Buckingham Palace is letting on, especially since I read a few days ago that the Queen had advertised for a nurse: http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2012...listic-nurse-in-online-ad/UPI-18061344138822/
Then again, his infections could just be due to coincidence and/or old age.
