Long story follows.
Fellow Highroader 13XX's girlfriend was taken to the hospital today. It isn't really my place to give out the details, but if you guys could remember them in your prayers I am sure it would be appreciated.
13xx wasn't able to get off work until around 12:30 tonight and I went with him to the hospital while he visited his GF. After 11 or so you have to enter the hospital through the ER. When we got to the entrance we were greeted by a sign that read "Police Substation no weapons allowed" in big red letters. No weapons signs have no legal standing for CCW holders in FL but police stations are a big nono. So we made a trek out to the car to drop off our various toys.
One of the hospital security guards was kind enough to guide us through the maze of corridors to the right set of elevators to get to the ICU and on the way I chatted him up on the substation aspect of the hospital. According to our guide there is no substation and he has no idea why the sign is even up there. I am figuring it is some anti hospital administrators way of banning CCW from their "hallowed" halls.
This really irks me as an ER can be a dangerous place, lots of sick and or mentally disturbed people plus a lot of stress all crammed together can be a bad combination. The worst part is I just hate being told a lie, especially when it is being used to deprive me of my constitutional rights.
On the upside I did learn a little about the dangers of potassium intoxication while I tried unsuccessfully to flirt with one of the night duty nurses.
