From 2000 to 2011 there have been 90 shootings just at hospitals. This shouldn't be happening in hospitals. Even nowadays hospitals aren't safe ;which is pretty ironic since the purpose of a hospital is to help your medical needs. This is a huge issue and officials are trying their best to make the situation safer to handle. Therefore, faculty members are being trained in workshops. "...the slaying of a urologist in his exam room in Newport Beach by a patient apparently angry over side effects from a recent surgery."(Tina Susman) Not only are the victims being assaulted by criminals but its happening within the hospital patients as well. If this can happen, then anything could happen and we need to take extra precautions to make sure it doesn't. I would propose a different solution; either better and stronger security to secure the premises and also be able to handle situations like shootings a lot faster because one of the main reasons that they're training faculty members is because by the time help arrives the damage has already been done. Also letting certain staff members based on their ranking carry guns with them in case of an emergency since this is becoming a more frequent case and the safety of others are put in harms way. It is legal to bare arms; they would just have to take extra measures of safety because patients that are acting upon drugs could be a threat to them. Teaching more and more people about self defense is important especially since there are some messed up people in this world. Shootings shouldn't even be happening in the first place ; especially hospitals. It gives the criminal a very big advantage to hurt people who are injured.
The way that some of your sentences are structured does not really make sense. I mean, I understand what you are saying but it seems like you are putting so much details into one sentence. Just take a minute and just breathe haha. Shouldn’t there be nurses or back-up around if patients are acting hostile towards others as an effect from the drug to calm them down? And I agree with your course. I thought that since it is a hospital that security measures should already be strong.
ReplyDeleteI agree that hospital should be more protective, because the purpose of hospital is to treat people that needs medical care or procedures. I also agree that some practices should be needed for the employees in the hospital because you never know what is going to happen. This practice will reduce the further damage because many people will panic when this situation do happen.

It was interesting yet shocking to know that hospital has been attacked for several times. I agree with you on that hospital staffs should carry guns in case of emergency. I liked how you suggested several ways that could possibly enhance the current security system at hospital. However, I wanted to point out couple conspicuous grammatical errors. Try to avoid starting a sentence with an ambiguous pronoun. For example, starting sentence with “this” like in lines 3 and 8 can confuse the readers. Also, your opinions were slightly vague. Other than those, good analysis overall
