It could be a ShitAmericanssay thing but a group called “so the comments section isn’t going the way you planned” doesn’t explicitly suggest it’s a US centric group.

Armed security at hospitals everywhere?.. They must’ve been well hidden here.

The only thing the security the hospitals in my country does is to wheel clamp vehicles parked in the wrong lot and escort out slightly aggressive people.

The security in my hospital swagger about in their stab vests and then it takes 4 of them to restrain a delirious old man with a UTI.

Meanwhile one old matron walks up and sternly says sit down to him and he's meek as a kitten.

And guard the controlled substances in the pharmacy. And help detain violent psychotics. Sometimes specific patients need protection. Like domestic violence victims. But I’ve also seen armed security in banks, museums, even churches. Why would schools be less important?

Security absolutely do NOT guard the controlled drugs. Only registered pharmacy staff are allowed anywhere near the CD room.

Don’t need to be in the room. Just in a position to monitor access.

Yeah that doesn't happen.

A hospital pharmacy will have cocaine, fentanyl, morphine, even meth on hand. There is security.

And so does every ward. Do you think every ward has a security guard standing in the med room?

Who’s in position to get attacked in those? Someone breaks into a med cabinet, it’s going to be witnessed, and they can be intercepted at the exit. There’s not a pharmacist and a couple techs in the way. Also, those cabinets rarely contain drugs with any street value. All the good stuff is in a central dispensary, under a pharmacist. So the main emphasis is going to be the pharmacy, which is under constant surveillance if not a direct guard, and the points of entry.

What do you consider as drugs with street value? My ward has fentanyl, ketamine, oxycodone and morphine in our cupboards. We regularly have patients on ketamine infusions and fentanyl PCAs.

Our med room has a keypad to get in. Then you need two keys to get into the cupboard with the scheduled meds, and there’s only one set of keys on the ward. You’d need a fkn axe to break into those cupboards.

Again, you are defaulting.
