Court delays case as ER workers protest assault on nurse
The delayed hearing on a July 4 assault at LMH ER drew 14 hospital staff in black scrubs leaving the courtroom. Nurse Frank Ronan said the attack by a psychiatric patient highlights gaps in state protections for emergency workers and longer ER holds due to Osawatomie State Hospital issues. Colleagues report limited support from mental health services, and a triage system now filters involuntary admissions, extending ER stays.
