EMERGENCY ROOM BOUNCERS

Working in an Indian hospital can be dangerous. In April, a week before DDU hired the bouncers, friends of an emergency-room patient punched a doctor in the face and broke his nose before going on a rampage with hockey sticks, swinging at windows, lights, furniture and medical staff.

Hockey sticks? In India?

Quit giving them the bill at the actual hospital.

This brings back so many memories. The only time I ever had to call the police because we had a fight in the er was when a doctor punched a patient's dad in the nose for waking him up. I was the charge nurse and had to call the supervisor to help me with the doctor. We both took him down and he didn't work there anymore after that. He also lost his doctoring license for six months. MikeyVA, you forgot the pepper spray and machete.

Just Some Guy: field hockey.

I'm pretty sure Emergency Room Bouncers follows Cops on the Fox Fall schedule.

At least I hope it does.

Nursecindy,

How do you keep the bandoleer from getting caught on the beds? (Adda machete and pepper spray)

MikeyVA, it takes a lot of practice. Usually all I had to do to make people behave was to walk around with an unsheathed, 14 gauge, 2 1/2", needle. You would be surprised at well that works.

Jeff, I thought that might be the case, but those little sticks with their little curvy feet seem about as threatening as Barbie dolls. And do they really play that awful sport over there?

Nursecindy

EEEEEEK! (faints)

At our, to be nameless, hospital, an anesthesioligist and surgeion got into a fight. They were arguing over the surgery which attests to their dedication.

hehehe. nc said unsheathed.

Anything I might try to say about this item would be mere gilding on the lily.
