I'm currently in rehab at a local hospital. I got there at around 9:15 this morning only to find tons of people milling around outside. I went up to one group and asked what was going on and they said the hospital had been evacuated due to a bomb threat. I found a seat to wait, to see if things would reopen before my group at 10, but at about 9:45 a staff member came around telling us that all appointments that day had been cancelled.

Who makes a bomb threat against a hospital, and this isn't even a major hospital, it's the ambulatory care departments, and day surgery location for its parent hospital.

I hope that it's a hoax.

In a different city than you but the Facebook group ER RNs that I follow had one of their patients call in a bomb threat when he was displeased with the his care.

"He admitted to a detective that he had called in the bomb threat because he was angry with hospital staff after they refused to provide him with narcotics and food late Wednesday night. He was seen at the hospital that night using a cell phone and was discharged about an hour before the threat was made."

We have such a long ways to go before we can be called civilized. Kinda glad the space programs got put on hold, humans aren't ready.

I am also guessing this call came from inside the hospital
