Voluntary vs. involuntary decision then transfer. It takes so long to get through this that the patient escalates into crisis mode including violence. It gets worse.

Lawyer: “If Thoman really meant to kill the doctor would he have told multiple people about his plan, Grey argued. Wouldn't it have been "foolish" to recruit an acquaintance, someone who isn't a close friend, he added.”
Speechless. This is just... wow.

This is my hometown! So glad they've found this man guilty. It's sad what he went through but his words and actions are totally uncalled for and inappropriate.
Good
Glad the jury saw though defenses stupid argument

"Assault charges were filed, but charges related to the woman picking up the child were not authorized by the Lancaster District Attorney’s Office." Please tell me that she'll get charged for attempted kidnapping.

One more update from Robyn, who now gets to close this chapter in her life.
"So today was the day and she showed up for court...even though it was an hour and half late she showed up. After a bunch of bs she was ultimately sentenced to 3 years probation, required to have a substance abuse evaluation with treatment if required and 120 hours of community service (which I specifically requested). It’s not as stern a sentence I would have preferred but it’s better than nothing and I encourage EVERYONE to hold their stance and don’t back down if something like this should unfortunately happen to you!"
Thank you, Robyn, for being #SilentNoMore. ... See MoreSee Less

An update on the case against the murderer of #LynnTruxillo, Baton Rouge nurse killed earlier this year: arraignment was delayed due to hospitalization of attacker. It is exceedingly difficult to imagine being this patient’s nurse while he is hospitalized right now.
To all affected, please be safe and if your internal radar is going off, trust your gut: be safe and protect yourself from an attack. #SilentNoMore ... See MoreSee Less

I had a patient who strangled his previous nurse to death, and one who scalped his previous nurse. Talk about watching your back.
Prayers
I had to take care of a patient who bit off a nurses pinky on the previous night. Creep needed trach care. I warned him if he even looked like he was going to bite me, I would happily resign & call the police & press charges. Informed HS & admins as well. He bit another nurse & was discharged immediately on my weekend off. Totally sick creep. 🤬
sad that it is still breathing
If something doesn't feel right, it isn't. Don't have contact with him without a guard of some sort.

I worked there. Left in 2009. Up until that time, I felt it was entirely safe. It seems some of their increases in violence on staff may be related to being short staffed. Extremely sad.

From Robyn: "The assailant didn’t show up for her pre sentencing meeting with probation back in June and a bench warrant was issued. She showed up for court over 3 hours late and was arrested again so sentencing can be rescheduled. Sentencing has been confirmed for tomorrow Friday August 23 at 10am. Elizabeth county court house, Tower Building 3rd Floor, Judge Daniel. Anyone that would like to be there as a show of support to end violence to EMS personnel is welcome!"

Supporting from Kansas!
Good luck with this, EMS being out on is tough. Going into places that you called to go on is tough. You folks deserve a lot of credit! Thank you for doing this job. Stophealthcareviolence.org
If I were in NJ, I would try to be there. Good luck.
EMS in Maryland has a felony law. Call your delegate if you do not have one. It's nice to have neighboring states as a reference.
Prayers for justice
