TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Is there a cure for violence? JO - Health progress (Saint Louis, Mo.) A1 - Bouchard, Charles SP - 81 EP - 82 VL - 97 IS - 4 N2 - If you want to avoid violence, stay away from hospitals. The first time I went to an emergency room, to pick up an elderly friar who had taken a fall, I was shocked to encounter armed guards, metal detectors, police officers and even a handcuffed prisoner sitting in the waiting area. Was I in a hospital or a jail? This brief, daytime experience changed my image of emergency care forever. Since that first visit, I have learned that things are even worse than they appeared that day. Hospitals are dangerous places.
