4. Can you expand?
Since you are only one who didn't feign stupidity.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I don't really understand the poll question in context with the choices.

Edit: modified from my original heading of: Tazer!!

But that seemed a bit rude.

12. Thank you for being honest, you are an RN
Not an officer who is on the scene and has to deal with the violent situation.

13. No, but -
I've been 'on the scene' and had to deal with a violent situation. Try taking care of a 200 lb patient in a violent delirium who wants to leave the hotel you're keeping him hostage in. My least favorite part of the job.

ER nurses have it much worse though. They have to deal with patients with knives, guns - you name it. The closest we ever came to that was when we had a patient who'd been shot in a drug deal gone bad. The guy hired a security guard for his room. We all went through the roof because of the danger this put our patients in. Whoo...good times. LOL.

11. It entirly depends on what happens.
Edited on Sat Dec-08-07 01:47 AM by TheUniverse
I wouldnt want to do anything stupid, but I wouldnt want to let him kill innocent people. I guess my answer is other and I would do what is best, for the given situation.

20. Step aside and let the crazyness run its course. Nothing lasts forever and people calm down.
But if he were aremed and my life was threatened I'd take out my pistol and shoot him dead.
