Know where all of the FIRE EXTINGUISHERS are in the hospital. They will "fog" the air, and may even suck out all of the oxygen in a small area. When the fire extinguisher is empty, you're holding a "deadly" piece of steel canister in your hands.
How about a small can of aerosol HAIR SPRAY? At least it would temporarily blind someone. Same goes for a pump-spray container filled with onion juice.
Stun gun?
How about doing some training with an "assault gurney"? Putting a wheeled gurney between you and a nut case might save your day!
Snake snare? I've seen some that are made of collapsible tubing, and the snare is medium-duty steel cable. If you can snare a wrist or ankle, you might be able to gain the advantage by keeping them at a safe distance from you.
Body alarms with "panic" buttons. Of course, someone would have to monitor an alarm system, and know where the body alarms are being utilized.
"Swarm" techniques: A minimum of 3 officers, with one going LOW (at the feet), HIGH (at the head or shoulders), and the third with a head-down body block.
Can you carry prison-type ankle cuffs? They could be utilized as a "bolo"-type of defensive tool, as well as locking onto the ankles at the end of the altercation.
Lastly, I think that you might be MUCH better off if you seek employment elsewhere! In my 31 years as a LEO, I encountered several "5150's" that seemed almost impervious to "pain compliance". One of them continued to flail a broken arm around after being "swarmed" by 5 officers! I lost count of the number of "spitters" that I encountered...and you NEVER know what diseases they might be carrying!
