Secure with Security at CFMH

Had a rowdy patient the other night, yelling, throwing things, abusive to staff. Called our night Security guard, Lonnie, to come deal with  the situation.  He has so much patience and compassion  and quiet calmness when working with people, and  even tho this particular episode did not end well ( or begin well for that matter), Lonnie stayed right with us and even stepped between me and the patient at one time when the situation escalated  to physical violence .

I appreciate all our Security Guys  for their dedication to protecting us in the ED, with a special  thanks to Lonnie. I have seen him come thru time and time again and help us out  to make my job a little easier.
