A former patient at the psychiatric clinic at Sahlgrenska Sjukhuset has on several occasions threatened to kill a doctor who refused to prescribe narcotics to him. Now the psychiatric unit is guarded around the clock.
The staff at the clinic are obviously disturbed by these threats.
The former patient is a man in his fifties, and on two occasions he has come by the clinic to ask his former doctor to give him narcotics.
Of course the doctor refused, basing the decision upon the fact that the man no longer needs any psychiatric care, and definitely not is in need of any narcotics.
The man has then made death threats against the doctor.
The police were called to the clinic once, to arrest the man. He was however later released, only to break in at the clinic to, as he himself has stated, kill the doctor
The police were called to the clinic a second time, and the man was arrested, and later released, just like before.
Then the staff at the clinic decided to keep the doors locked, and later they hired a guard that is posted outside the entrance day and night for protection.
This is the first time ever that something like this has happened at the clinic, and the entire staff is very worried.
The police are investigating the matter.
