MD hospital increases security for stabbing victim
Healthcare Security Weekly, October 10, 2005
Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, MD, increased security last week for a stabbing victim the hospital treated after authorities said they weren't sure whether his assailant was still at large, reports the Daily Times.
Extra police officers spread throughout the emergency room for most of the night because of fear that the attacker might come looking for the unidentified victim.
The hospital was prepared to continue the heightened security for another day, but local police assured officials they had the assailant in custody.
The increased security did not interrupt normal hospital operations, as patients and visitors could enter and leave the emergency department as they pleased.
