EMS Week

Measles: Cough, Coryza, Conjunctivitis...Crud!

Update on Invited Speaker Who Proposed Controversial Anti-DEI Legislation

A brawl ensued

Nurse knocked out

Swinging bloody extremity

Intimidate me while waiting

Patients throw printers

A nearly endless barrage of abuse

Punched while checking vital signs

Attacking staff while boarding

They wrote down our license plates

Broken bones and bleeding

"Too many to count"

Sick and coughing on staff

There was no help

Attacked with machete

Hit by wet floor sign

Undoubtedly part of burnout

"I will burn this hospital to the ground"

Threw a wheelchair at me

Pregnant and attacked

Attack led to brain damage

Treated for broken rib

"This is supposed to be a felony "

"Come to the ED and shoot everyone"

Death threats while trying to help

Nothing came of the police reports

Nunchucks, knives and guns

Tried to stab me with syringe

Headbutt knocked them out cold

Death threats against my family

BIt off large mouthful of flesh

Threatened with harm, lawsuits

Car vandalized, nurse choked

Heavy medical equipment thrown

Bitten so hard she needed surgery

Patient with a knife

Locked in a room for safety

Patient area with no security

My employer did nothing

Medical team steps in to help security

Security doesn't want to get involved

Our safety is in our own hands

They came looking for me with a hatchet

Tried to skewer me with IV pole

We could not get to the patient

Gun in waiting room

"I'll shoot everyone here"

Punched for bringing them apple juice

Injured during routine triage

Spit and bit

Assault almost every day

Too many boarding

Had security in a choke hold

"I know where you live"

Pulled out a knife

Lifted off the ground by their neck

Threw a chair, threw an EKG machine

This is an everyday occurrence

"Assault should be a felony, but it is not"

Cursed out for doing my job

Punching while strapped onto stretcher

Physical and psychological trauma

Pregnant and assaulted, no charges

Happens so often, nothing is done

Brain injury and PTSD

An incident pretty much every shift

I don't feel safe

Three days in a row

He attacked the officer

Safety officer unconscious

Locked in restroom for safety

Large chunk of arm bitten off

Completely swept under the rug

Too violent for jail

Reporting does not change anything

He bit a nurse

Violent after seven days boarding

Pulled out a gun

Ripped the sink off the wall

He threatened staff, kicked holes in the wall

There are constant threats

Unsustainable

Bomb threats to our facility

There's nothing we can do

Too much effort to pursue justice

Aggressive threats

Beat up in the ambulance bay

Choked another patient's mom

Attacked staff and shattered glass door

“We are abused on a regular basis”

Behavior only acceptable in hospital

He threatened to shoot all of us

Tore the door off

Frustrated after boarding three days

Throwing urine on everyone

Threatened so often I lost count

Punched by the whole family

Abuse from patient treated in hallway

"I'll meet you in the parking lot and kill you"

Broken glasses and concussion

Broke a police officer’s nose with a headbutt

A patient threw a chair at me

“I’ll kill every one of you!”
