    IF you run across a firearm on a patient, (which is really isn’t a common thing), it gets placed in a lockbox and then locked into a “safe room”. Chances are good there be a cop there in a short order anyway due to the patient having been shot by a gun.

      It’s good that most hospitals have a system in place to handle the situation.

      I honestly didn’t know that, I tend not to live my life in a way that would preclude me being shot or being around folks who will shoot someone. Thanks for the info! :)
