Appreciate all the responses.

I work in Katy/Houston not Kabul. Some of this is a bit much.

Plus anything on waste or torso will be noticed or felt. I occasionally lift a patient. They'll feel a gun on my waist. Or the gun will knock against a side rail. I will be reported. I will be fired, and possibly have liscence suspended or revoked.

Things in a hospital setting simmer and boil over. My first job will always be to distance myself from danger while securing others or telling them to gtfo if feasible.

Well intentioned, but this thread has devolved into a tactical discussion. Shirts do not work as the gun will be felt and I would have to reach down my neck hole or under the scrub top. Either would be as awkward as an ankle draw. A fanny pack would draw attention as I have never worn one in 15 years. Fanny packs are very 1990's in society as well as in healthcare.

Regular baggy drawstring scrub pants have a huge ankle/foot opening. It's the most feasible for not being detected and not complicating normal patient care.

Most hospital situations escalate. Which means there is time to escape and hide. We are expected to snivel in a locked room and pray to Jesus that a shooter does not come. My plan is to be armed if ever hiding in that room. Basically if I am in a "draw" situation, I'm gonna lose. Because for a person to walk into a place and start blasting, AND that first person is an unsuspecting me? I'm fricked regardless. People make noise in a hospital. There is ALWAYS a ruckus. Or a person who is gonna potentially have a weapon is known and is seen on camera. There is gonna be time to flee. If I am ambushed, I am ambushed? No tactical shirt or waistband is gonna stop that scenario.

One person has already been fired for removing their pistol (waist type holster) and putting it in their bag. This place allowed carry. But this person was no longer carrying as it was in his bag. Therefore it could be taken. So, that person was fired. I am sure that person removed it for a procedure or treatment (most plausible is holding a child or toddler for IV or sutures).

Bottom line, an ankle holster is better than (Godfather reference) my dick in my hand. And an ankle holster is the ONLY thing I would feel remotely comfortable with, and even then I am 50/50.
