Patient security?

PETALING JAYA: Thefts are not just occurring in the streets but also in hospital wards, giving rise to an urgent need to protect the sick and the infirm from thieves.
Security guard William Francis, 48, who was admitted to a private hospital for a diabetic ulcer wound, said he was given some medication which caused him to be drowsy and fall asleep.
“When I woke up, I overheard a patient complaining to a nurse that he had lost RM400. I then looked at my side table and noticed my mobile phone had also gone missing,” he said.
