[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2580220, member: 936"] You work in a large hospital, and the world has been thrown into utter chaos. Unable to receive supplies in the foreseeable future, the hospitals current stock will only last four days. Would you steal the remaining supplies for personal use and be prepared, or leave the supplies to be depleted by the public? This is one of the better cards to think about. I think that the people answering this will answer it two ways, those who are medical professionals and those who are not. First, I would probably be trying to provide as much care to others as possible during a crisis. Up to a point. That point being where my well being and/or survival and the well being and/or survival of my family is affected or jeopardized. As a medical professional, I would hope that I have significant supplies for myself and my family and/or group set aside before the total chaos hits the fan. With that in mind, I dont think Id go on a big pilfering run. UNLESS, the powers that be are so recto-cranially impacted that they cant see any of what is coming down the pike. At that point, Im out of there. I might grab some last minute stuff, but Im probably more likely to grab it for others working in the area that may not be as prepared as me. Paying it forward with an eye to maybe building an alliance or telling them they owe me a favor in the future. Second, a large hospital will have some type of security. Most have armed police in house. In a total breakdown situation, I can imagine active duty military of some form supplementing hospital physical security for some obvious reasons. Even if it is just a small squad, Im sure that they would frown upon insider trading. As a non-medical professional working in the hospital, you probably arent going to have much unrestricted access to supply locations. Certainly not pharmaceuticals. Probably not sterilized or high dollar instruments and tools. You might get a few things, but unless you have developed your Slicky Boy sneakiness in advance, you will only be able to grab some stuff if an opportunity presents itself. And you may wind up grabbing a crate of enema bags instead of suture kits. As a non-medical professional working in a hospital, Id think you should have spent some time building some form of relationships with the medical professionals. Especially like minded ones. Those who could help you prepare earlier than Chaos-dark-thirty. Also, if you grab and go, you might sacrifice any benefits of working at the hospital for the next four days. You may be getting easier travel due to your needed job skill set. This might entitle you to gasoline when others arent getting it. You may be getting food at the hospital that isnt available outside. And you may sacrifice any last minute alliances or favors you could work on. You will also sacrifice access to any intel that may not be available to the general public. Remember that rifle squad? Maybe taking those guys a couple of warm meals and baby wipes instead of their MREs, heat tabs and canteen showers will get someone talking about stuff you need to know. [/QUOTE]
