Having worked in both my self working in a hospital your a number. Especially when you’re living and doing everything for 24 or 48 hours (depending on department you work for). The fire department and police department are a lot tighter than working in a hospital. Not trying to start anything but when working in police and fire departments it’s cause something is bad is happening. When in the hospital you’re usually in a safe, regulated environment. And if it’s not you call….? Typical answer is hospital public safety, that’s the hospital’s police, and usually they’re the ones calming down and protecting both sides.
