I'm not the only one that's pissed, all the staff are furious. None of the nurses who also work or have worked at Tacoma General, Swedish, or Harborview ever saw such disinterest in the local PD for the safety of the hospital staff.

Guess what? Nothing will change until a staff person is killed. I tried causing a fuss 2 years ago, and little happened. Since then we've had staff members stabbed, ribs broken, fingers dislocated, and a nurse was on medical leave for 2 months after she was pushed to the ground by a patient and went into premature labor. Almost all of the assaults were never prosecuted.
