Well, it's Alaska so you can expect there to be a gun on site. Yesterday, and fairly commonly, patients are open carrying when they come to an appointment. Some are police, some are not. It makes me a little nervous, because I don't know why they are open carrying, but I've joked with my staff about walking in with a stethoscope and a gun on my hip, just to see what they would say. It's rather inappropriate at a doctor's appointment -maybe they would get the point. There is a camera and signs up about surveillance. There is also a locked door between the lobby and care area.
Interesting story about putting a lock on the lobby door. A patient came for a visit, then left with refusing to pay. Shortly he came back and asked to use the bathroom. He was told it was for customers only, so he just walked back and used it anyway. Then... the lock was installed. I had the police permanently trespass him from the facility.
