Escort Hotline
We had an incident over the weekend in which a recently incarcerated patient showed up looking for pain meds in our clinic and confronted a medical resident.
The resident handled it well, and luckily nothing untoward came of it, but the patient should never have been able to just walk in to a secured area over the weekend and as a result, I have to file a formal report with Security.
We have an online phone directory, and I wasn't entirely sure whom to file the report with, so I typed in "Security" to look at the address list for the department.
It was then that I discovered the extension for the "Escort Hotline". Who knew?
Hard to imagine how an escort to your car after dark could end in a "happy ending", but I think it's nice that we offer the service.
