title: Chilling effect of 'ice' on emergency care provision.
abstract: The doors to the emergency department (ED) open and a 23-year-old man arrives by ambulance, shackled to a stretcher. He is in a psychotic state; loud, combative and abusive. As he yells and swears, other patients become anxious and frightened while nursing staff are on edge.
