Bless Scott, he seems like a really nice lad I can only imagine how embarrassed and guilty he felt when they told him what had happened when he fully came round!
@GlacierStripez
As someone who has been admitted to the psychiatric hospital five separate times, I can say that this behavior from certain patients can be quite unsettling to witness in real life. I once saw a fellow patient throw a chair at a nurse.
@heavenbound32566
I can fully attest to the accuracy this episode exposes. I worked 20 years in a neuropsych hospital in Texas, and aggressive, combative patients were a daily thing. Myself, the worst I got was a disslocated jaw and 4 dead teeth from a man who had put 4 big men in the emergency room the within the month prior to clocking me. The medical profession demands that you be physically fit enough to hold your own in the unexpected whilst practicing your " first, do no harm".

My daughter is mentally I'll & wow!!! At times I had to be around & just pray for the ambulance come & get her. But after being sectioned three times, i have, thank God, decided i will try on my own, but with the Mental health team's advice, to never again take her to the hospital but to monitor her myself & see if i can do something to address the suffering of people who are mentally sick. I will hold my daughter hands & support her until my last breath on this earth. It's a very difficult task, but i am determined to help her to live a sane life as much as she can. Mental illness is the worst illness on planet earth.

Worked in secure hospitals in uk and Australia, it’s an everyday occurrence for violence on hospital staff, skills are very quickly developed to deal with these on a verbal and physical level

I have worked in ICU and ER for the last 25 years as an RN in the USA. I have both my biceps reattached by surgical means and a CHI thanks to a kick to the temple. Psych patients and ETOH patients are truly a danger to the healthcare team. And PTSD is a real thing for nurses who have been injured like I have others should be believed and treated with more empathy and respect than I got from the hospitals I worked in. To those RN’s and staff that have been injured get help and stay strong you are going to be ok.♥️💚

Being aggressive when coming round from surgery is quite common. I was told I was ratty and crappy coming round from spine surgery. The nurses apparently wouldn't put up with my crap and upped whatever it was that kept me quiet and asleep. I was mortified when they told me but they laughed saying it wasn't uncommon with perfectly nice people after a heavy op with lots of anaesthesia.

11:00 I love that where the police tell the guy calm down
@SilverBearwalker
I’m so so sorry that you all who work in a&e have to go through this. No matter how poorly i i was (and I’ve been poorly, mentally and physically and emotionally while in a&e) i wouldn’t dream of treating staff like this. All they’re trying to do is help us. I’ve only got praise for the NHS workers. They are a wonderful bunch. Let’s treat them right.
@kylegawron5358
I hear stories from my young bro who is a full time security at a hospital and his wife also worked at the same hospital before becoming a stay at home mom. It's wild
@Colorista_1
I’m a recently retired flight nurse in the USA. I’ve seen and dealt with it all. You can’t even imagine how dangerous a patient like this can be in a helicopter. We had to be so careful and act as best we could to prevent anyone from getting hurt. My heart breaks for truly ill patients who honestly have no control. On the other hand, there are some people who are better dealt with by police and or other agencies. It’s a delicate balance trying to help those who are truly ill and those who just want attention.
@Victoria-A1111
Been to hospital twice this last month to a&e with my husband, as he needs surgery. It’s full of drunks, mental health patients and like a druggie drop in. We heard doctors telling some patients who literally go there for not much, this is accident and emergency. You need to be seeing your GP- don’t get me wrong, I know it’s almost impossible to get doc appointments, but it really adds to wait times for people who really do have a life threatening problem. 10 hours we waited each time we had to go in. My husband was in agony. He had a massive gal bladder infection, and also diabetic. And literally some butter walking around in a dressing gown, on drugs and alcohol annoying everyone. Swearing…. We need to sort this out.
@Siberialoverhere
My father was a Dr/surgeon who was murderer whilst at work in the accident & emergency department. He was getting into hs car to actually pick me up from school, I was 9 at the time. There was no security at the time of his murder😢 These security should be in EVERY hostpital. Please, government

I hope the gentleman Scott who had brain surgery is doing well, I can totally understand that happening especially dealing with the brain. I started to have seizures a year or so ago at 34 years old. I’d never had them before, my husband said he woke up in the middle of the night to it happening. When I came out of the first one he said I tried to sit up and immediately went back into another one so he had to call 911. The last thing I remember is falling asleep the night before, I woke up in the hospital so confused. I didn’t know where I was or what was happening, it’s scary to see yourself hooked up to a million things and you don’t remember how you got there. It took me hours to have a clear mind, my brain hurt for like a week. I had another one shortly after, that one was so bad I bit through my tongue and cracked a tooth. My teeth must’ve been clenched so hard with my tongue stuck in between. My husband said he was scared to death, when he turned me on my side blood came out of my mouth. I’m on medication now to control them, I still don’t have a direct answer as to why they started happening.
@spikefawkes5152
It’s a sad state of affairs when it’s come to this. Attacking the people who are trying to help. I’m a nurse and see this regularly.
@racheldemain1940
I have Mental Health issues but I wouldn't DREAM of attaching or verbally abuse Hospotal staff. I didn't even WANT to have to go to A&E knowing others need it more than me!! It was only because I couldn't get a GP appointment. I was agitated but that was nerves. I treated the team with respect and gratitude for their help.
@Betty_Virago
Some months ago I was in hospital, I also was aware my mental health was bad and the A&E doctors requested the mental health team come. They refused. I was in hospital for almost a week and in the middle of the night I had one very rare mental health crisis. Still the mental health team refused to come. Apparently they will not see someone with a mental health crisis/difficulty whilst they are being treated for a physical illness. At the end of my stay I was sent home, that was March, to this day I’ve still not had contact with the mental health team. I recognise all this is not good for NHS staff, but we also need to realise that for many, the mental health services in the UK are virtually nonexistent.
@johnaldred6864
Thank.god there are people like you to deal with these unhinged individuals ....!
@jennr1787
I'm from Ontario Canada and I worked security in our local hospitals, mainly in the mental health wings. My scariest encounter was with a young intoxicated man brought in by police. He thought it would be a good idea to light a cigarette in one of our trauma rooms that had oxygen pipes behind the walls and portable tanks all over the room and emergency department. He was naked wrapped in a bed sheet, so where he hid the cigarette and lighter I could only guess to this day.
