Well, we’ve been told we’re not getting Taser in the met – ho hum.

Incidentally, great post – I’ve linked to this post as it’s such a perfect description of a shift.

Sounds like the good old days at my old ED in London. The bobbies used to bring in a dog and walk it round the waiting room to snarl the patients quiet! Much more effective than the diazepam they would inevitably ask for. We once had a police horse poke it’s head through a window into the minors area – scared the natives shitless, they thought aliens had landed.

Good luck. And for the “normal” amongst us, a big THANKS!

Witsinfr…cattle prod…good idea but needs lots of training for a good aim.

Demi…TASER is on its way…big style!

LC…are you related? I like your thinking!

Hogday…Although it is not an everyday occurence it does kick off from time to time…and usually gets seen as ‘another day/night in A/E!’ Our Police force are going to need plenty of batteries and cartridges for their TASERs.

Hi Purpleplus. The tragedy of your excellent post is, for me, the fact that I could picture an almost identical scene in several hospitals on divisions that I serverd on, both in London and a county force. The well worn cliche, “You couldn’t make this stuff up” is so very apt. I know when I’ve related these tales to friends on `the outside`, I often get that funny look and a reply like, `surely not in a hospital`. With Taser being rolled out across the Uk there will soon be an alternative to that crappy CS (aka Cry Shit). Hope you get one!

@Stonehead – Not a bad idea, but I would suggest a slight alteration.

Have the ‘Catagory 2′ chute lead to a selection of small rooms in the cellar. At any time the medical staff can come down to the room and ‘relieve stress’ by using a generous selection of implements provided by the hospital. Afterwards the room is hosed out to the bio-haz burner, and then awaits the next stress relief volunteer.

I suspect such a setup would prove immensely popular with doctors who are pulling 30 hour shifts, nurses who are abused for not providing green jelly when the patient demanded yellow, paramedics abused by the 47th drunken clown of the night, etc.

It would also provided a good lesson to potiental offenders that it is not a good idea to p*ss off people with surgical tools, interesting chemicals and a good knowledge of human anatomy when they finally decide they have had enough.

I concur with Witsinfr, if our police force could use tasers, there would be a lot less hassle. Anyone who’s seen an episode of Cops knows how effective they are at subduing a hostile person.
