I can't speak for an ambulance clinical incident form, but in my trust when you complete the paperwork there is definitions of assult. I had my wrist fractured by a tiny old lady when I was giving her, her tablets and a cup of tea, so after my visit to A&E I was sent back to my ward to complete my form. You have to tick to state if the patient was; violent with intent (i.e. stone cold sober and with complete capacity), violent under the influence of non-prescribed medications (sky high on drugs off the street), violent under the influence of prescribed medications (sky high cuz the Dr's written it up), or violent due to injury/disease/illness that renders the patient confused Of course mine was the last and therefore it would be the same box for Tom, meaning that we wouldn't have a leg to stand on as they were not of a mental capacity to cause injury with intent to harm us. Hope you feel better soon Tom, a few bumps and bruises and muscles ache is far better than any broken bones or skewered eyes in my book! Hope HR don't drill you down for sick leave now......
