Uninvited...

It was a quiet night until 2am.. I had been disturbed by call from the wards and the ED. Around 3:30am , there was this family wanted an explaination and I walked out from my call room. The explaination was short and I walked back to the office minutes later. When I opened the door, I had seen a shadow moved inside the toilet. The toilet just at the right end of the room from the room, I could see the toilet door just when I stepped into the office.



The ED office sketch.....


 


I was stunt and waited for a second, before I asked "who is there?" A voice anwser from the toilet and "I came for a pee". "PEE" my ass I grumble. A voice means he is definitely human and not any being that belong to another word. I walked into toward a toile and slice the pie. I saw a person about 175cm tall wearing a cap and blue jacket. He saw me and told me that he couldnt find any toilet and so he came here. I was a little annoyed, "WTF" I grumble. I chased him away in a unhappy tone. He quickly zipped his pants and I walked him out from the room. I sat down and had a quick thought that he might be a thief - but I was too tired. The next day, I shared the incident with Lem, and Lem told me that he was definitely a thief. I went to our engineer department and told the manager what had happened. We traced the surveillance camera. Yes, he is definitely a thief. He had entered the hospital 20 minutes before he walked into the office. He had wandered around and took the lift to 7 floors. The nurse was sitting in the station but did not ask him what he wants when he walked into the ward. Then he wandered around the registration desk and waited for me to come out and see my patient. Fortunately I did not take too long to do so and I walked back in heavy paces. If I had not make any sound when I walked back I might had caught him red handed searching for something -then a fight and someone may get hurt....well, I was lucky, nothing was lost. I had a couple of hundred laying on the table along with my laptop, mobile phone....... well, I was lucky I don't have to confrant him ... or else someone might get hurt....


We had actually hired a security guard 3 months ago. However he was sitting in the ED instead of sitting where he should be. If he had sitted at the security desk and questioned someone who had entered the hospital but did not seek help in th ED, the thief might had walked out straight. But it is not the time to make a big issue about this neglect of duty - boss might think it is useless to hire them and we would be back to dark age again.
