Intake and screening

I got assigned to medical intake this month again, oh GOSH! this is the busiest area of the jail, when new people or the regulars come into the facility when they are first arrested.
Man can woman cry.... and cry.... get mad, then cry again.
there is a long medical history you have to try and record from new arrestees.
Have you evey tried to get information from an intoxicated or high person, that's alot of fun.

One night last year a man came into the sallyport (intake area) I was asked to assess his dog bite wounds, he was angry, he was hostile, not a happy camper because a police dog bit him, the police had took him to the hospital emergency room prior to bringing him to the jail. I asked if I could take a look at the wounds. He was still angry, I looked at him and smiled. " Are you retarded?" no why? he replied, I looked at him and said " you were running from the dogs? Dude you have 2 legs, the dog has 4 legs, Yeah he said but " It took him a long time catch me!"

Sometimes you just gotta love this job!
