lol one of the things we have to do in psychiatry is go through every patient's belongings on admission.
We've seen all kinds of things from drug paraphernalia to weapons to dildos (and one dude just had the whole lower half of a sex doll) but in this context the thing that takes the cake was the patient hallucinating so bad they were talking to the demons more than us and it turned out there was a loaded gun in the bag they'd had at their bedside for 8 hours in the ED. The honorable mention is the lighter that looked like a gun that I put in a little plastic baggie with a note covering it that said 'THIS IS A LIGHTER' so that no one would panic when they first saw it.
Honestly I don't even care all that much we really do live in an area where you might just want to have something on you even if it's just a nice hefty flashlight. I'm probably not going to win a fight, but I've always said I'll at least take a testicle with me and leaving behind some tetanus doesn't sound too bad either.
