It is my understanding that adelphia has oozed out into the surrounding counties.

As a retired health care professional, I will not be surprised if the Doctor gets sacked for violating the hospital's no gun edict. The hospital is part of the Mercy Health System and I expect the Doctor to be hoisted on the petard of political correctness. It seems to me that he made the courageous choice when he chose to arm himself. Unfortunately, I think that he will have to live with it.

A New York psychiatrist defends Dr. Silverman:

The District Attorney said "If Dr. Silverman did not have the firearm and did not utilize the firearm, he’d be dead today. And other people would be dead.”

The hospital has apparently decided not to punish Dr. Silverman and has released a statement saying that it looked forward to his “return to serving patients at our hospital.”
