I love the sound of a Taser in the morning!

I'm in Exam Room 7 trying to interview a patient while a drugged-out whack-job in Room 8 rants and raves about the unfairness of "the system" and cops in general. The noise increases and soon the sound of furniture being thrown makes it harder to carry on a professional discussion with the little old lady I'm seeing.

Wait for it. Just another few seconds.......SNAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP-CRAAACCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

Ah yes! The reassuring sound of our electric friend, the Taser, followed quickly by a thud on the floor and brief gutteral inhuman moaning. No more furniture flying around the room. No more threats to the nurses. Just quiet and compliance. Best of all, there's no lingering odor of CS gas or pepper spray in the room.

Next patient!
