In 1993 at the USC Medical Hospital three doctors were shot in one of the ER rooms. The hospital then bought a new security systems, metal detectors at every door. and now after 20 years the hospital wants to get rid of the detectors. They say that the security system gives the hospital a feeling of danger and with the new competitiveness in hospitals USC wants to be more friendly and welcoming, the detectors do not help with that. Richard May, one of the doctors who was shot, says that it is a terrible idea to remove the metal detectors.
If I were May I would not want the security to go. If they were there in the first place May would not have gotta shot. I think it would be a good idea to keep the system, better safe then sorry and even thought they have not had an attack in more than 20 years things can go wrong in seconds. The metal detectors may be odd for a hospital but if is protecting the people of our country it should stay
I agree with you. I would want the metal detectors if I was one of the doctors who got shot. Yes, I do admit that they take away from the friendliness of the hospital, but I too would rather be safer than sorry. Hospitals should be known for their great care and protection, and if the metal detectors provide more protection, then by all means keep the metal detectors.
ReplyDeleteI also think that keeping the metal detectors and the security system is a good idea, because it does give the patients and doctors there a sense of security. If I were a person that was there during the shooting I would want the security system to stay for my protection. Although it may give the hospital and unfriendly feeling, I would rather be safe than feeling unwelcome. But, there's also the issue of always wanting patients to feel welcome and comfortable. Even with this side of the problem, I think that the security should stay.
