Our local paper regularly runs stories about health care workers at our hospital being attacked by patients--as if the workers' jobs aren't difficult enough. mad I'm sorry you had that experience, F1.


Thanks, man. Usually the papers out here (Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register) only write something if he health care staff did the injuring, not the other way around. There's a high injury rate and they have be reported to OSHA, but there's little interest by the press.
