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

  1. report to management

  2. record their assault in their history and submit a separate document for hospital director

  3. get the half day off and drink until you pass out

Obligatory alternative process:

Patient is experiencing gender dysphoria as evidenced by their assault and battery, immediately lay passively on the ground until they're done beating you to not offend them and then suggest their options for transitioning, and deny any allegations of assault to prevent others from knowing of their propensity for violence.

Pretty accurate depending on the doctor and standard procedure outside of removing yourself from the room immediately and requesting security assistance
