I'm putting this info out for people that may be thinking about starting residency in Texas or are interested in jobs with the DSHS.
I've rotated through 2 of the state hospitals during residency and fellowship...
I've things that would lead me to believe that having people openly-carry guns would have led to an escalation of behavior on patient's and non-patient's sides...
People here are quick to point out that the patients would still be required to not have guns...
Do any of you think that this is a good idea? I'm honestly asking. I'm also honestly thankful that I'm out of training, I don't think could have gone to the places I did considering the job requirements for patient care at the state hospitals and the increased stress of possible gun violence that would come with it.
