Last shift we picked up a patient from the nursing home who was a baker act. Why would a bedconfined man be a baker act? Because they found a gun in his room and he threatened to kill himself and others with it. His nephew brought it for him to commit suicide with.
Anyone ever run into something similar?
It was kind of funny though, a tech was walking us over to a different section of the ER (There are like four.) and asked "Is he still strapped?"
My partner says yeah, he's still strapped! and tech goes "WHAT?! WHAT!?! WHAT THE HELL MAN!?" and I am just shaking with giggles.
My partner didn't know when someone is "strapped" it slang for having the gun, he thought he was just asking if he was strapped to the stretcher.
I only know because I recently read an autobiography of an LA crip member, and now consider myself the street slang expert
