Edit: I might have taken your quote the wrong way.
Cops find themselves in dangerous situations without backup all the time.
I'm sure he didn't think this guy was going to run in and shoot up the hospital. Most likely, he was relying on his experience and training that people that act like that, at that time of night, have drugs in the car, or an outstanding warrant. He probably could have realized this was one of the exceptions, but it's very difficult for younger cops especially to go against procedure that like that.
