Been on vacation, but now I'm back.
During my vacation (on my Birthday no less) the Ft Hood Massacre took place.
And a rare thing has occurred...the perpetrator of this violence was apprehended before he could off himself.
The jerkoff is in the hospital with his four gunshot wounds...but he's awake and talking.
Now...here is the question for the day:
What is it like to be the nurse who has to go into his room and interact with him?
Does he or she say "Good Morning" to the person responsible for killing 13 people and wounding 29 others?
And what about little "accidents"? Granted, the guy is likely under guard, but how excited are they likely to get if the nurse happens to oops and drop his orange juice in his lap? So what if it happens 3 or 4 times with every meal?
Of course I suppose it's possible there are no nurses taking care of his day to day requirements at all. Could just be MPs changing his bedding and serving his meals. But the same questions apply.
It is so rare for mass killers like this to survive, there really isn't a "How To" guide for the folks who have to take care of his needs. And he's not in a correctional facility hospital yet. So it's not like he's being treated by people who deal with murderers regularly at this time, unless caregivers with this experience have been temporarily reassigned to this Army hospital.
So perhaps the question is moot in reality.
But what whould you do if you had to be this guy's nurse? What minor torments (if any) would you employ?
