Someone asked:
I'd like to know when a doctor or nurse should report an injury to the police or someone else.

An injury incurred in healthcare needs to be reported to help the system as much as the patients. The only way the system can become more nearly safe is by the community being aware of when it was not. Internal reporting has proven to be nearly useless. Even crimes are covered up. The community must know. If there is an injury, to whom must it be reported for your community to know? You are not merely a nurse or doctor. You are a citizen, a human being, who knows something the community needs to know.

If you want me to notify you when the response to your note has been posted,
