I used to work for a little hospital as an admissions clerk, and just so happens to be the only hospital with in a 40 mile radius. We got the drug overdoses, suicide attempts, and all that stuff. Well there was this one county PD that would drop there pts off with an EDW and leave, expecting us to get the pt if they eloped...We didnt even have security. Well, one morning we had a female come in very early for a suicide attempt(none the less unsuccessful). Well, we were waiting for a room in our psych unit, and our local EMS came with a pt. Well, our psych pt took off out our back door. I called a code yellow (which did no good), but our EMS guys took off after her. I called the cops, and I turned on our scanner to listen what had happen. Well, one of the medics took off on foot, and the other ran code 3 in the ambulance after her. They caught her block down the road. The cops showed up, arrested her, brought her back and sat with her till she was admitted. This little hospital has had its share of crazy things. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
