On 14/10/05, Holly Hegeman, discombobulated, unleashed:
"He had a camera with him. It was obvious he was taking photographs,"
Southlake Police Lt. Ashleigh Douglas said.
Now I'm so glad I didn't choose a police career.
During the recent half marathon, I wanted to get a group shot of the
medical team. Unknown to me, one of the people who subsequently died
was in the medical tent at the time. Walking towards the entrance, a
nurse deliberately stepped into my way so that I bumped into her and
then asked what I was doing with "those cameras". I was tempted to say
that they were not cameras but a revolutionary new treatment for heat
exhaustion but confined myself to saying "Taking pictures". "Not in
there, you're not" she said, taking up a stance that made me assume she
would try to physically prevent me if I continued. Bemused, I turned away.
Later on, in full posession of the facts, I saw her again. "Do you
always assume the highest possible level of unprofessional behaviour in
others?" I asked her. She had the grace to blush.
And I thought nursing was the caring profession.
