That job was certainly a wake up call for me. I don't want to be overly cautious and suspicious, but equally I don't want to be cut!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the commentSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-4711218114776202802009-03-29T00:11:00.000+00:002009-03-29T00:11:00.000+00:00We have one of those in our district, a self-cutte...We have one of those in our district, a self-cutter who hides blades on her person.

A&E isn't really set up to handle them - especially if there's a real violence/safety issue. It seems like the local custody suite has become a temp psych hospital for the most part. <BR/><BR/>I never thought I'd say it, but it'd be great to see a review of emergency psych provision in this area!Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-2011001074031910082008-03-27T21:08:00.000+00:002008-03-27T21:08:00.000+00:00Nasty situation.
