firefighter got stabbed in the heart by a patient

Shanetta Bossell - the perp

Rev. Adam James, a deacon at St. Andrews Episcopal Church, performed a
eulogy focused on balancing mournful emotions of rage and anger with
Hoffman’s love-centered attitude, which James called Christ-like.
Hoffman’s girlfriend told James that the fallen firefighter would not
want people to be angry at Bossell, James said.

“She said, ‘You can be mad, but you’ll have to let that go. Graham
would want you to turn this negative into a positive,” James said.

Hoffman’s giving spirit is also reflected in his decision to be an
organ donor. His organs, donated through Midwest Transplant Network,
are estimated to impact more than 100 lives, Grundyson said.

possible changes - just thinking out loud

restrain all patients

search all patients

screen all patients via databases - use facial recognition if necessary
