DFIB Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) The wife made the call. Here is the portion that csboulder11 saw and was edited out. Sorry I screwed you with your post. Feeling a little guilty. You are received at the door by a beautiful middle aged woman in a bathrobe whos concerned continence belies her hair and make-up that are perfectly made up. You also notice pendulous earrings and a necklace that looks like what would be worn to a party. With urgency in her voice she says “please hurry, I have never seen him like this before” “Something is very wrong”. As she leads you through the living room, you notice an open bottle of Merlot on the coffee table and a wineglass that is two thirds empty. On the end table by the recliner there is a half empty bottle of Jim Beam next to a scotch glass that only contains some partially melted ice cubes. The glass is on a coaster where a good sized water ring has formed. Next to the glass is a Desert Eagle laying on a wooden box that looks like a gun cleaning kit and a book titled “Living with PTSD, a soldier’s story”. In the corner there is an AR-15 equipped with a tactical scope and a sling. In the light of a single lamp you can see that the house is clean and well kept. As you follow her through the living room you sense a slight sweet smell of gardenia bath lotions. The smell reminds you of those Christmas visits to Bath and Body works for a last minute gift. The lady says “Please hurry, he is in the bedroom, just this way” She heads toward the hall … EDIT: Spelling Edited October 1, 2012 by DFIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police Dept goes in first. Scene safety, you don't know where the dog barking is coming from. Could be a neighbor's dog. The dog is the neighbors and is behind a fence.

Arctickat Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 And now my post doesn't make much sense without DFIB's. Did any of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicgirl05 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 At this point I'd definetely back out until police arrived to ensure the patient was unarmed. There is obvious potential for things to accelerate to a point I'm not comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect you enter a lot of homes with guns where you live. Do you call the police every time? Edited October 1, 2012 by DFIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctickat Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 DFIB, this must have been an extremely interesting call, but ya gotta slow down...I know you're eager to enlighten everyone but give others a day or two to chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right It turns out to be pretty cool, at least in my estimation. I am putting on the brakes and will lurk for as long as I can stand it. You guys take it away.

medicgirl05 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It is not only the guns that are alarming, it is also the alcohol consumption and the PTSD book. These combined make for a possibly dangerous scene. If the police are 1 minute out that shouldn't make much difference in patient care...better to be safe than sorry. Yes we have lots of people with guns, however they are not usually in clear sight. When they are in sight we ensure that the patient isn't within reach of them, either by removing the gun from their reach or removing the patient from the scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
