Didnt have to have surgery, but yes I am now aware of their no water policy.If you go to the ER nobody is giving you shit until you've been cleared of life threatening conditions. Surgeons dont like it when youve had anything to eat or drink.

If you give them an inch they will take a mile. Going without water for a few hours can be pretty annoying though, especially if it gets too warm. And up here its a mask thing , their being a bit cunty.People ask me for shit to eat and drink all the time and my default is always no. Almost all requests I say no to just as a general policy. Motherfuckers think an ER is a bed and breakfast.
Still unacceptable behavior on his part no?Shiiiiiit, I am a big dude w/ arm tats and 300 meter stare and I've been punched, kicked, slapped and spit on. Most of it has been be from families rather than patients. Still it's better than the other side of the no control lashing out coin, I very much don't like getting surprise hug and kisses from strangers.
While I was still in school, I was giving my first in and out Cath on a post transurethral prostate resection. Dude punched me right across the jaw and then hugged me after I got it running past the clots.
Now that I've written it down, fuck my job is sexy af.
If a mentally ill person kills someone, that person is just as dead. If someone behind the wheel, when impaired, kills someone, even though he or she is not thinking clearly at the time, is still responsible. Being high doesn't let you off the hook for robbery, murder or the such. Why should it let them off the hook when attacking HC workers?The people attacking medical staff are mostly mentally ill.
Punishing them accomplishes absolutely nothing. It's just a matter of being practical
For some reason in the hospitals here they wont let you have water, even if you leave it outside the main emergency area, which makes it hard to wait 4 hours without water. So for a "free universal health care system" or system is complete and utter shit.
When you are under there is a risk you can vomit and asphyxiate your puke and die.
And when your charge threatened lover boy with further charges he straightened right up. No?Those laws exist man. That's what assault charges are for
Same here...Im all for it though
I don't think it matters if the patient was in the right state of mind; it's YOUR JOB to protect that person/those people (if there is more than one person), and of the person is dead, and there was some negligence involved, you can bet that there will be charges dropped, because that is technically murder.The assault cases against healthcare workers almost always get thrown out due to lack of interest in prosecution and the easy defense of "the patient was not in their right mind"
Good job making detailed theoreticals and comparisons that arent relevant to the issueStill unacceptable behavior on his part no?

Really stupid reasoning. Then why put anyone in prison then. Is someone in sound mind when they decide to commit crime? I mean if you know of the possible consequences, and continue with your plan of holding up the Quickie Mart, shoot the clerk over 20 bucks and a fistful of scratch lotto tickets, could you successfully argue that you suffered a disconnect from reality? Answer: YES. You have to be pretty well connected and wealthy. See John Hinkley.
Punishment not only provides some sort of justice to the wronged, and also serves an example to the rest of society. I mean literally that what punishment is. How is it that you not know this? Arguing punishment with you is fruitless because you had a big problem with your DUI. You openly scoffed at it, and bragged (don't know if true) that you still drove drunk as if to taunt the law and fate/God.
I really don't understand why ANY of you are arguing against some sort of law which could/would be employed to protect HC workers? It really is fucking bizarre. TDS (Tim Derangement Syndrome) I guess.
When you are under there is a risk you can vomit and asphyxiate your puke and die. The anesthesiologist, the guy that is often the highest paid person in the OR, generally frowns on that.
I see. But what triggers them then?I couldn't quote a study but most directed at me have been "normal" folks in bad situations. I put myself on guard now mostly around parents and spouses of wealthy families, they tend to be hitters. It's almost always after educating them on post care bowel/ bladder management or when we set up hospice for people that tire terminal.
For reference, I've been working at a high end acute rehabilitation, we don't get people w/o banging insurance.
A sense of entitlementI see. But what triggers them then?
That's the part that gets me, while I like the idea of state nursing boards ( policy that reflects to population and all that) when it comes to big issues that effect all of us the shit is all over the board. Shit just facility to facility. Our sister rehab's CEO refuses to give CPI and has flat out said that hands of clients will be fired and reported but at my facility I've seen our 78yo CNO straight up body tackle a dude for slapping his son.The NLA. ANA and a couple of other accreditation agencies have been instrumental in changing alot of the legislation on this. It's why in the last decade I've been in this they switched from letting us get our asses kicked to allowing reasonable shows of force in response to assault. It's a slippery slope, you can't go full Rambo and soon as as it's done u gotta make sure the pt is ok.
Like @Solution said de escalation is the better than having to fight
I wanna kick it with ur cno lol.That's the part that gets me, while I like the idea of state nursing boards ( policy that reflects to population and all that) when it comes to big issues that effect all of us the shit is all over the board.

Literally took your proposals and applied them to the real world. I can cite examples if you like.Good job making detailed theoreticals and comparisons that arent relevant to the issue
As usual
Which may be the reason for a law specifically for HC workers.The assault cases against healthcare workers almost always get thrown out due to lack of interest in prosecution and the easy defense of "the patient was not in their right mind"
Im all for it though
excellent writeup.@GroyperSupreme
You're not wrong that it's unacceptable. I pay dues to the ANA who lobbies national and local governments on nursing issues, violence against health providers being a big one. Additionally, I provide my work data to research done my university and sigma.
But like all things it layered, to that point, @Baka asked about triggers. While I'm sure it might not always be the case, in my setting it's always a stress trigger. Longer term care is a mother fucker of physical, emotional and financial stress for everyone involved.
With patients, they compensate for the lack of control and stress in different ways, most just get verbally nasty, some get crazy codependent (call button every 5mins), the minority are hitters. Most time with hitters there is an underlying issue with inhabition, these are stroke and TBI, not all but some lose the don't hit wiring.
With family it's all the stress plus a big trigger. A fuck ton of people deal with reductionism, "It's expensive, I have to carry this extra load, I miss my significant other but when they get out of the hospital it be back to normal". This is almost never the case and on the extreme end of what we do, love one end up taking an incredible amount of burden. Breaking that news is when it usually goes down, but again only the minority are hitters, a larger portion just try to get a nigga fired.
Whew, that was a lot of blah blah.
Anyway, @GroyperSupreme, the biggest game changer for me so far has been provider end classes like CPI, it's a a lot of practical psychology mumbo jumbo and awareness drills. It's improved my get hit : get hugged ratio a lot. Having this certification required in nursing schools is one of the issues the ANA is pushing.
It's all tricky, I can take a hit and don't want to call the cops on a person already in neck deep shit but if 5'4" nurse ahn gets hit it's a trip to the ER and workers comp.
Meh, I might not no my flower but I no a bitch when I see one
