Topic	Sick and tired of being assaulted by patients

Funny, in the topic where the Las Vegas cop who got to the scene first but was too scared to confront the gunman, the most common response was in the vein of "It's part of his job (to go up against a man with a rifle armed only with a pistol), if he didn't want to do it, then he should find a new job". Yet apparently TC's case is different? (it's not). Fact is, it's part of your job. Perhaps the rest of you who came with that conclusion in that cop topic should be consistent. The problem is that people who work in medicine don't get enough psychiatry experience. They don't use proper techniques de-escalate patients and they don't assess for risk of violence as well as they should. This has been a growing problem in healthcare especially in the ER where a lot of homeless patients with psychiatric problems end up. I agree that it's part of the job and health professionals who don't work in psychiatry should be better trained on how to handle aggressive patients. --- I hope you have an appetite. ------------------(^_~)------------------ <cite>AngelSeven posted [p:926795458] in Sick and t...
