Description

An armed soldier sleeps in the doorway to a hospital. On the ground beside him is a newspaper reading '258 "serious and sentinal events" in NZ public hospitals'. A passerby comments that this must be what is meant by a 'sentinel event'. Wordplay on 'sentinal' meaning 'guard' and 'sentinel event' meaning a health policy term used for a 'headliner' event that may cause an unexpected or unanticipated outcome or death, and trigger an investigation of a hospital's policies.
