See, med school can be exciting. The following was an email I just received:
The VA Medical Center will conduct a Disaster Exercise on Wednesday, 2 Feb 2005 starting at 8:30 AM and concluding at approximately 11:30 AM. This exercise is part of the VA Medical Centers Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals process and is being coordinated with the Johnson City Police Swat Team, a negotiating team, the VA Medical Center, VA Police, the ETSU Police, the College of Medicine and Johnson City Medical Center.
1. The exercise will consist of a disgruntled patient who leaves the Medical Center , goes to his vehicle and gets
a gun and takes a hostage. He then takes the hostage into Building 7, in front of Stanton-Gerber Hall. The exercise
will test our ability to locate the hostage, assess the situation, negotiate with the disgruntled patient, care for patients and families who may be involved and subdue the disgruntled patient.
2. This exercise should not interfere with the medical students or any other activities going on within the College of Medicine . Contacts and actions by the College of Medicine will be simulated.

LOL. Sigh.
I found it amusing as well. I guess that shows the importance of the communications class we took last semester. As for the anonymous poster, are you the same anonymous poster who has posted previously? Hmm...a mystery...
