ER Nurse

I've worked places where there's been a threat called in and we typically have security teams and the police are always there because of various reasons. But this particular day, he made the decision that we need to evacuate the emergency department. So as ER nurses do, our team figures it out. A lot of times for disasters, we'll put up tents out in the parking lot.

So the team began assembling the tents and trying to get patients out as quickly and as safely as possible. There may be 50 patients in the department and there's a handful of nurses.

The worst scenario that you could probably imagine in the emergency department. And we see awful things. So while trying to maintain all of the other patients, getting them out safely, you know, the people that can't walk on their own, the really sick patients, we have to make sure that all of the psychiatric patients are accounted for. So we get them all outside.

Everything comes together perfectly. There's enough people to watch. We kind of quarantined the psychiatric patients to one area. We had security guards. There were cops there that had responded to the event. Everything seems to be going well. The bomb squad shows up, and they clear the hospital. And we're like, what exactly happened here? Why did we so quickly make this decision?

So it turns out, luckily, none of the patients were harmed. But the hospital operator, he was off shift, decided to call in a bomb threat. This was a guy that worked at our hospital, calls in the bomb threat to an operator who is his coworker.

There was really no way to verify this because they didn't release the 911 tape. But the story is that this person called the operator and the operator was like, is this you, Peter? I recognize your voice. And he's like, no, no, it's not me.

So the gentleman who was making the bomb threat apparently had made multiple bomb threats. He had worked at various facilities over the years. He called in a bomb threat to a school, to various different township buildings. So he was calling in bomb threats for many years. They found out that it could have been potentially three or four years prior to this event.
