for some reason i should feel like a bad person. but since part of my job is to keep the peace in the emergency room, i have no trouble what so ever with having a homeless lady arrested for tresspassing.
maybe i should explain myself.
for the past 5 nights now the same lady comes to the ER at night to seek shelter from the bitter cold we have been having. the first 3 times we it slide cuz she said she was here for alcohol detox. by the fourth night, she got brought in by the police cuz they found her out on the road and she was drunk and mumbled something about wanting to kill herself. so right away she ends up in the er as a patient watch with suicidal tendacies even tho she wasent. she just wanted a place to sleep again. after all that bullshit and after she was medically cleared we sent her to a crisis center to get mentally cleared by a head doctor person. last night was the fifth night. i walked into the ER and not much to my surprise, she was outside on the bench again with her one bag of stuff. so i just shook my head and walked in. eventually it got to cold for her and she tried to sneek inside. after a long talk with the head nursing supervisor, my supervisor, and the ER doctor, we told her straight up that this is not a shelter and we have no reason to medically treat her. so after a long and bitter talk she got pissed and decided to get somewhat violent towards the ER doc. by that time me and my supervisor got really ticked off. called up the police and had them come by. i really do love their less-than-a-minuet response time cuz just as they showed up, she was ready to start swinging if she didnt get her way.
so we told the officers that we would like to have her arrested for trespassing and attempted assault. so she got handcuffed after a little shuffle and another talk with the police, who happened to be the 2 that brought her in the night before.
i may be a dick for doing that to her, but you know what, a warm jailcell for the night is alot better then sleeping outside in 28 degree temps. so ironically, i did the right thing and got her a place to stay the night. even if it was in the back of a cop car on the way to the jail.
i wont dwell on this subject any longer cuz it just stresses me out too much, but for the love of god, i swear if she is back tonight, i am personally gona kick her ass and make sure she ends up in the morgue.
