Today's the last straw. Had an IVDU patient who tends to flee AMA quite often who stuck his hand down my scrubs and tried to get in my underwear.

There's a really fucked up thing about healthcare - patients have exponentially more rights and protections than healthcare providers. Nurses deal with this shit daily and often stay silent, because it always falls on deaf ears.

Thing is, I'm the only hospitalist here and legally I cannot refuse to see the patient, nor do I have any power to get the police to help out until after he's discharged.

Fucking tired of this. I've been felt up at least a dozen times in the past year.

I can't image how much worse it must be for nurses.
