Is it possible to get a buzz lock with a camera on the front door? Technology like that is super cheap nowadays, just a quick doorbell ring and the receptionist can look at their face and make sure they're not That Guy, then buzz them in.

I heard a few airports have naked x-ray machines going cheap, just place a mirror on the door and they'll stop still for a moment to and they look good/scary while you can check if they're carrying. Or are well hung.

Um. Call the police. Terroristic threats need to be confronted with extreme prejudice.

Bad Jim! That's profiling.

But, but, if they deal with him themselves, they can charge him for an office visit (business is business).

footfootfoot · 12-06-2014, 01:13 PM

What would the billing code for that visit be?

sexobon · 12-06-2014, 01:30 PM

general anesthesia

We share a building with an Urgent Care practice so can't buzz-lock the front door. The door into the clinical area is locked, but it's flimsy and would be easy to kick in. I worry about the receptionist(s) because they're the first visible staff, sitting behind non-bulletproof glass.

We've had the police involved before, and had certain individuals banned from hospital property (unless they're personally coming in via ambulance). But threats, unless heard by multiple people, are hard to prove. The Supreme Court is considering a case right now that addresses when an utterance made in anger (protected free speech) becomes a 'true threat'. Is it all in the perception of the one on the receiving end of the communication? Or does the one uttering the communication have the right to declare what it means? It's a stickier legal wicket than one might think, and people who make threats may get a warning, but don't usually get taken off the street.

The staff get nervous when they see certain behaviors because absolutely everyone around here has guns. We have no security in the building (we have tried to get some assigned, but apparently it's too expensive to protect us in our little clinic that sits a few blocks from the hospital. Also, most of the security guys the hospital uses are about 90 anyway ...). So, short of getting a concealed carry permit, I don't know a good solution. Maybe bulletproof glass and reception wall in the new office that we'll move to next year ...

Therapy pet ... Doberman.

DanaC · 12-06-2014, 03:27 PM

or, Shark with frikkin lazerbeam.

orthodoc · 12-06-2014, 03:30 PM

Each of us could have a therapy dog ... a Doberman, a Rottweiler, a Mastiff, a German Shepherd, and a specially-trained therapy puma. There you go. Any of them could administer Conscious Sedation.

That wasn't a laser beam, it was half of a sonic screwdriver and you know it.
