Going the Extra Mile…and Without Shoes!

Officer-HamiltonA little over a week ago Officer Michael Snock in Security came in early before his shift and stopped to say hello to fellow Officer Allen Hamilton. As the two were chatting they noticed a homeless gentleman who came into the ED complaining of foot pain and bleeding. When Officer Snock came back to officially relieve Officer Hamilton of his post shortly before midnight, he caught Hamilton trying to slip out unnoticed. But Snock did notice…and he also noticed that Hamilton was wearing hospital issued footies. His practically brand new boots were gone.
