It would be expensive. I don't think it would be at all realistic given the much much cheaper alternatives of running a shuttle and re-aligning bus routes.
No, it wouldn’t be expensive.
It would be insanely expensive. You do not take an existing LRT line and re-route it awkwardly to a new destination nearly a kilometre away.
The shuttle is a better idea, but nowhere near as good as doing proper planning up front and putting the hospital on the LRT, preferably built over the tracks and incorporating the station directly into the hospital building, although that last part is a “nice to have”.
