Idiot or Psychopath?

It is true that the hospital building is being repaired, and we are in a transit area. It is also true that the transit area will be repaired and renovated at a later date, and is at present not at its best. But it is also true that our annual budget is Rupees twenty million. So if the toilet’s door bolt gets damaged, it is no big deal to have it replaced. We have enough carpenters to do the job. Still I found that the bolt that was damaged and used to come off when pulled was replaced with the trocar pointed stainless steel inserter used for inserting subcutaneous suction drains. It is normally so sharp that it can enter one’s hand on the palmar aspect and come out of the dorsal aspect if so pushed with moderate force. Some ingenious soul put it in place of the bolt, the pointed end outwards. So when anyone tried to bolt the door shut after going to the toilet, the inserter would pass into one’s hand. I noticed it without getting poked by it. I took it out and asked the theater assistant who had done it He was clueless, or at least he said so. I asked if they had at least autoclaved it first. He said that was unlikely. So whoever it pricked would also be at risk of getting something like HIV or hepatitis B, if the patient on whom it had been used had any of these illnesses. I cannot imagine why someone did such a thing. Either that person is stupid. I sincerely hope so. I hope so because a stupid person is far less dangerous than one who is intelligent and malicious, bordering on being a psychopath. To have someone like that put it there to hurt others intentionally is something we all can do without.
