I understand your plight entirely. I decided to find an occupation other than teaching after an eighth grader well and truly violated my personal space. He imposed his face a mere two inches from mine and waved his arms about.
To add insult to implied injury, he even made "Bloo-blagh-blargh-blah" noises. Despite the training I received from my father in the pugilistic arts, I acquiesced to my better nature and simply spoke to him in a measured tone. (All the while thinking of other occupations my genius would be well suited to.) --- A taste of lion's paw, locked jaw ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oof, can I ask why you are in-and-out so much nowadays? Stage IV colon cancer patient, so I'm in a lot for various metastatic issues in regards to the cancer spreading to my lungs and liver, and mostly for pain management. There's been a number of visits where the goal was to get me through an acute bout of pain and every other hour I'd be pumped full of dilaudid through my port-a-cath. In retrospect, the pain medicine is also probably why I sleep as well as I do in the hospital. Shablagoo posted... And yeah Im with you, despite the sleep thing it was a very positive stay overall. I even tried to stay longer but my doctor said no lol >.> I know this feeling all too well. I've never outright asked "can I stay longer?" but I always want to because...well...the hospital is just so nice. Between knowing I'll be taken care of, knowing I'm in as safe a place I can be in, and getting to talk with people other than just my mom it's honestly kind of depressing when I'm discharged. --- "Tried to point my finger, but the wind was blowing me around in circles, circles." ...

Fam_Fam posted...then get a different job if you don't like the conditions of your current one? I mean, she can, but it's hard for me to feel sorry for her when it's an issue that's prevalent in this field and many others. It's not like she's the only one that has to deal with it. Again, I don't know her situation so it might be tactless of me to take this position, but she made it seem like these risks and concerns were previously disclosed to her since she received some type of de-escalation training. Others deal with much worse more frequently and get paid much less. It would be nice not to be assaulted, duh. I'm sure many other people share the same sentiment. Especially those in behavioral therapy and special education. However, this isn't a perfect world. These issues will continue to persist and the only thing we can control is how we deal with them and, to a certain extent, if we deal with them. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. ------------------(^_~)------------------ ...

Does the hospital, or facility, you are employed at not have a policy where you can request a security presence for patients with a history of abusive behaviour?

We're taught to de-escalate and blah blah blah, but let's be honest here, it's unacceptable that it's your job on the line just for defending yourself. Employers have a duty to provide a safe work environment for employees. Sexual harassment and sexual assault by patients is still harassment/assault. Start documenting the cases, bring this to your supervisor's attention and escalate to HR. If they don't make systemic changes to address this, get a lawyer and sue.
