Be Smart

Show up to the ER, patient in restraints yelling at all the staff, tugging on the restraints threatening to beat people down, I get the paperwork, noted in bold and circled on three different pages RESTRAINTS REQUIRED, his reason for being here is he fought with four security guards because he's off his meds, history of cocaine abuse and abusive behavior, there are fresh scars on his head, stitches where the officer hit him with the handcuffs, the nurse tells my partner "I don't know if you really need restraints to transport him", partner asks me "do you want to use restraints?" and I reply "YES, we are definitely using restraints."

Earlier that night two medics bring a 5150 patient to the psyche ward, instead of rolling him up to the doors strapped to the gurney they decide to walk him up, no straps, no restraints, just walk up like a regular person. Just outside the facility the patient beats both medics down and runs off, police weren't able to find him...
