PATIENTS AT RISK FROM ADDICTS

In my opinion, the hospital and the (meth) rehabilitation facility
shouldn't be a complex. Sure, it would be easier to get medicine to
some people that overdose, but what if guys that are really high break
into the hospital?

In fact, I heard that six guys that are high on even a moderately
powerful drug have the strength of an elephant.

The patients could get really worried being in the same building as
drug addicts (no offence to drug addicts).  If any of the addicts got
into the building, they could do some major harm to the patients.

I think that if we had a rehabilitation facility, it would be a good
thing to have, but not as a complex with the hospital, somewhere
nearby maybe, but not as a complex.
