The militia visits the hospital

So to recap:

1. Elderly female patient with brain tumor and UTI arrives at ED.  ED wishes to test patient for COVID. Patient refuses test and masking and is put in respiratory isolation room for safety of staff and other patients.
2. Daughter has power of attorney but refuses to wear mask and is not allowed entry to hospital.
3. Daughter calls 911 and summons the local militia.
4. Deputy arrives, determines patient is competent and patient wants to stay in hospital and receive treatment.
5. The armed militia arrives demanding the patient be released.
6. Hilarity ensues with crowds, rushing the ED doors and pepper spray
7. Patient decides she wants to leave AMA and the hospital discharges her.
8. Militia disperses.

This is exactly the sort of stuff for which I get paged at 0230 to deal with.

You are one lousy risk manager.

Third world problems.

No trust in public institutions.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

3. Daughter calls 911 and summons the local militia.

911 connected her to the local militia?

I wish my 911 service did that.
