That was a stupid experiment in a park full of people or something. Those experiments are designed to provoke people by being all in their face and inconveniencing them so they can have a dramatic YouTube video and get lots of clicks
No one in a hospital is likely to bother you if you pray as long as you're not blocking anyone's path
Infact if that woman chose a quite corner to pray no one would have bothered her
You shouldn't fear the people but fear Allah
And wether you manage to pray or not, don't worry, according to the majority of Scholars and the dominant Islamic view you will not be kaafir, you will only be kaafir if you believe missing prayer isn't a sin but as long as you don't deny the obligation of the prayers and it's sinfulness to miss it then you remain a believer
Fard prayer is the most important and a hadith says that those who pray five times daily (until death) they cross the sirat like lightening and go to jannah without reckoning (I'll post up full hadith and reference of it later) so this is what you should try to perfect in life and not be searching for a majical dua or nafl prayers that will guarantee you jannah. As you can see, it's hard enough establishing the 5 daily prayers for new practicing Muslims like you so focus on fearing nothing and perfecting the regular fard prayers
Nafl prayers and dua's certainly helps us along the way but when you havnt established this basic key to jannah yet it doesn't make sense to obsess over dua's and superergatory prayers as the guarantor of jannah
