Would OnStar Have Helped?

Consider this scenario:

You are a floor nurse in a hospital and you have a client who is not quite with it.  They are able to do things and converse, but the thought processes aren’t all working together.  In addition to checking in on your client every hour or two, you administer antibiotics about every four hours.

Next thing you know, you are standing outside this clients room and they are on the phone, and the charge nurse is standing next to you and they too are on the phone (to the outside world, not in house).

The floor nurse is asking what you have been doing for your client as they (the floor nurse) is on the phone with the police because they (the police) are on the phone with 911 dispatch, who is on the line with a person who has called in about someone sneaking in to their room every four hours and is trying to poison them….

You gotta love it.
