I was giving him his discharge paperwork. He was upset that he wasn't getting a free room and meal. He was pulling the "I'm going to kill myself if you don't admit me [to the hospital]." He frequently, over the course of years, has made that same threat when he doesn't get what he wants. I genuinely think that his behavior has gotten more aggressive with each visit, and each time his behavior is excused.
I am angry that he was even allowed to make that threat and all he got was a shoulder shrug response. I will not tolerate being someones waiter/house servant/maid and then have them threaten my life afterwards. BS. Its a class c felony. It was committed in the prescence of law enforcement, and I requested the perp be arrested. They refused and now I will make those officers lives miserable for their laziness.
Actually I get the impression that 2 of the 4 officers would have hauled that guy down to jail, but they were not in the position to make that call. When supervisors start calling I will make sure that point is clear. I don't want to get a decent guy into trouble just because some other ahole is being lazy.
