Think like a doctor #No correct answer

Patient assaults a physician of any kind and under policy in most hospitals you just leave the room and alert security. Do you reject to help the patient and have them seen by somebody else, continue to try and treat the patient, alert security and have them removed or start writing the EMR note with them in the room? No matter what their EMR will denote hostility and possibly evicted from the premise but what would you do in that instant? Admittedly we broke procedure all the time and assumed liability so hospital procedure for being assaulted means nothing in terms of policy unless the person was a giga neurodivergent

Just pitch them out a window. Nobody got time for their crazy bullshit.

ERs are on the first floor so wouldn't do much, they'd just walk back in through the front doors
