I right there with you on this one man! I've worked psych for the last 6 years and have ended up in more scuffles and full on knock-down drag-outs than I care to remember. Just last week I was attacked by a patient with a sharpened comb as a weapon and no - my paycheck doesn't seem to add up either. Not to mention that after 7 days, not one member of the hospital administration team has seen fit to come and ask me if I'm okay, or if anything can be done to prevent this in the future. If however, I had reacted the way I wanted to - and took the guy down hard (!) - there would have been a full on investigation. A deliberate attack on staff with a weapon however doesn't warrant diddly. Keep up the excellent work and stay safe!
