I am a ED Nurse (used to be a psych nurse). It happens all the time. The best we can do is have enough staff to intervene if needed. If things go really bad, our PD are absolutely wonderful about responding to the ED! We are lucky though, we have a locked seclusion room.

It sucks to have to rely on that, but that is how it is in our hospital also.

Those situations go down badly sometimes, im glad you were unharmed.

They do have a locked room. They don't lock the door if the person is calm.

It surprises me that PD didn't escort the Pt and Medic in. I know our PD are really good about responding to all psych calls to keep the medics safe. I know when we get pt's like that the police are usually comming with them and stay until the pt is under control.

PD rode in with the ambulane and medic and left after they got to the ER. He was there for 2hours before he snapped

OK, what's a 302?


Glad you are OK. I have a friend who has been off of work as an EMT for a while after getting hurt fighting with a guy in the ambulance.

That sucks. And it's an involuntary commitment.

I knew there's explanation.

You gotta explain this stuff man......like we all know what a "302 pt" means. I thought that was as typo. Plus...being you typed on your phone, the sentence structure was already messed up a bit. Through context, I eventually got the gist of what you were saying....but...yeah. It was confusing at first.

Sorry! Pafoa is blocked at work. I'll remember that for next time.

Has a change in protocol for locking the door been brought up?

I asked today. It's against policy to shut the door of they are calm. Once they start to get angry they shut and lock the door.

Maybe think a little when we see six cops trying to control a guy before we pass judgement?

As a paratransit driver, I've transported a few 302s and have visited several psych facilities. It goes without saying that a firearm is the last thing one needs with such patients or facilities. They're not responsible for their actions, and with a firearm anywhere nearby they could really, really ruin someone's day. All one can do is remain detached, don't take things personal, and do what is necessary without it getting personal.
