“Our Director of Nursing Services was going around and there is a lane between the accident Chest Clinic and Accident and Emergency Unit, and he had seen him with a backpack and a stethoscope.

And when it became apparent that he was trying to escape interrogation those who were there gave him a hot chase and he was arrested and has since been handed over to the police.”
