Brawing and a metal pole

So I have a lot of stories so far. I have been doing this job for over 7 months. I am not permitted by law to use any patients' actual name, so I'll just make up names so that make sense to me, and are easier to say. I'm also not permitted to say the actual names of hospitals or retirement communities or anything like that.

Now that I got that out of the way... lets start with a doosey.

One day about 3 maybe 4 weeks ago, I was delivering medication to a Behavior Health Hospital (BHH) in the actual city of San Diego. The area that I deliver to almost every day has seen some very interesting patients come through. On this particular day, about an hour before I got there, two of the bigger patients got to talking, and then yelling, and then before anyone could do anything, they were full on brawling. From what the nice nurse who telling all of this to me, all security members in the whole hospital to come and separate them.

somehow that patient had gotten a hold of a metal pole and was waving it around trying to hit anyone that came close enough. The nurses By the time the nice nurse was done telling me about the fight, I could see people cleaning the blood off of the floor. As I was finishing my walk to the nurse's station, one of the patients started screaming for a nurse. The N.N. went to the person's aid, and then immediately came out yelling for help. Every nurse and helper and security guard in earshot came running. (I am not permitted to help in these cases, I have no idea what to do anyway.) It turns out thatsedated the patient with something that was in a needle. It was straight out of the movies.

Anyway, that was all within about 15 minutes. Sure was exciting/interesting.

If you made it through the story, I'm giving you a long distance High-5 right now.

Later.
