We know of more than 5,000 assaults. There could be many multiples of that number. That is significant and horrifying. It would not get to that level in any other workplace. There seems to be an accepted level of violence because people are sick and stressed out. However, we need to send the message that this is not how people who work in healthcare settings should be treated. When an assault happens, what steps do or should people they take? Are there clear procedures? Do people know what to do if they are assaulted?
