(14,881 posts)there are specific hospital policies in place. They called Code Pink. That puts the hospital in lockdown. All exits are locked.
In fact, security apprehended Kennedy on the floor in the stairwell where the altercation took place.
In the event of an actual abduction, they would have called description and direction to security. All other personnel in the hospital would have been on the lookout at assigned positions.
In the lab, it would be at our window in the back and the phlebotomy entrance into the main hallway.
If we saw somebody with a suspicious bundle, we would NOT attempt to apprehend, but would alert security.
"And no, baby abductors are seldom armed." You are joking, right? Patients are seldomed armed too. Policies aren't written for the people who are unarmed. They are written for the few who are.
I don't admire those nurses or their attempted heroics. I think they acted poorly and put the baby in at least as much danger as his father did, if not more.
