Next time respond by telling him that you’re with the FCC and he’s obviously got to work on his communications skils.

It’s a great story… even if his spy credentials were bogus.

Of course, we had a 14-year old recently pass as a Chicago police office for five hours of an eight-hour shift. He showed up in most of a uniform, said he was temporarily assigned from another district… and they put him to work.

I wonder if he might not be related to Mr. CIA…..

Kim, so what would happen if one guy says he’s Jesus, and the other says he’s Satan? Would they play chess together?

Good for you for not getting cowed by a badge!

Enrico’s comment reminded of the time I had two “Jesus Christs” on my psych unit. They got along famously (seriously!) and never caused any trouble. Probably kept out the I-think-I’m-Satan crowd!

I agree w/Kim–CIA don’t advertise usually (unless they are really low-level in which case it’s that much less of an issue) but the real problem is flashing CIA badge to see a patient when 1) it’s irrelevant that they work for the CIA (even for nat’l security reasons, someone in US is outside thier mandate), and 2) the person in room #302 is Jesus Christ and he said it wasn’t allowed.

You go grrl! I’m so proud of you for holding your ground and not knuckling under to anything as puny as the CIA.
As you well know … we fight bigger fish everyday!

Kudos!

I never fail to find (hospital) truth stranger than fiction–even mine. You gave me a flashback to the “Navy Seal” we treated in our ER. Kept telling us he was “trained to kill”–and the look in his eyes (even while in 4 point restraints) didn’t leave room for doubt. He wasn’t a Seal . . . but he inspired the fastest injection of anti-psychotic I’ve ever administered.
