It Takes Some Kind Of Evil To Call In A Threat To A Hospital After A Winter Storm Has Hit The Area, Doesn’t It?

Someone did it at the Duncan Oklahoma hospital this morning. Choose the worst possible day to do it too. I hope they are caught and sent to prison for it. This involves sick or injured people and the workers who made sure they got to their jobs to care for them.

Sad that happens. Funny story from a number of years ago. I was visiting in a hospital when the fire alarm went off. Amazing efficiency as the staff got all the patients out of the building. I happened be standing beside a construction worker as we waited for the fire department to let the sick people back in. The contractor said that he was the one that triggered the alarm. He was doing some cutting and a bit of smoke from his saw triggered the alarm. He was rather upset. He had asked and the hospital had confirmed that the alarm for his area was shut off. Fortunately it was a nice day so we all got some nice sunshine as we waited.

@hippyjoe1955 Something like this happened this past December at the cancer hospital I go to for chemo. It wasn’t on a day that I was having chemo but I heard about it during my next two chemo sessions from patients that had been there on that day. It was due to something that construction or maintenance was doing and was a small fire that was quickly extinguished. But the alarms sounded and everyone had to evacuate the building. Imagine being hooked up with chemo IV’s and in the middle of treatment and having to evacuate on elevators having someone push the pole thing that the chemos (many have more than one and also other drugs like steroids, anti-nausea meds etc going on too) and pumps are on and leading the patients out of the building and having them wait for nearly an hour before they could go back inside and be able to lay back down in their reclining chairs. People are already weakened from the cancer and the chemo can cause dizziness and fatigue etc. to add to it. The nurses, doctors, medical students, other staff, and other patients in the building also had to evacuate…a huge amount of people waiting outside. It’s a 5-story building too.

@cherokeepatti Ironically the one I was talking about was the regional cancer hospital as well. It too is multi storied. 4? Yes some of the patients were hooked up to their Chemo drug infusers. Quite a number were bedridden and in very frail health because the chemo hadn't worked. I was amazed at how efficiently they were able to evacuate the place. I do hope the chemo is working for you. It did for my wife although she also went through a full session of radiation.
