Christmastime hospital-room raid busts dying man for using marijuana extract

[Warpy]

28. I've worked in oncology units were the sweet smell of pot smoke was

as common as alcohol and disinfectant. I was called back to such units (agency and float) because I had enough sense to ignore it along with everybody else on staff. One unit had disabled the alarm on the door to the stairwell, and that's where patients would go to smoke it.

An attempt needs to be made to identify the squealer who is clearly someone who has no business anywhere near that unit. Whether it's a secretary or housekeeper, that person needs to go elsewhere. My guess was that the stink s/he made was prolonged and considerable and the nurses know who it is.

As a practical matter, nothing is going to happen to this man except a few days of increased misery while friends/family resupply him. He can't show up in court and I doubt the court will be permitted in his hospital room.

I don't know why some people in this world are so stupidly, thoughtlessly cruel. I just know I refused to be one of them.

(NM is better now, nobody has to sneak it any more, it's legal)
