Some people just can’t be handled with words alone, that’s why medical facilities used to have big burly orderlies to keep things from getting out of hand.
I have to wonder if they are still there or if they’ve been down sized and affirmative actioned out of existence?
There are no professionals I have more admiration for than nurses, they are the heart and soul of any medical facility while taking all the crap (literally) day in and day out. I couldn’t do it and I respect beyond words those who can.
I know. It’s not just talking. I didn’t post what I was trying to say as well as I wanted to.

Where I work, we have a few strong guys around,called the Lift/Ambulation Team, but they’ve started cutting back on them. That has led to the new call “Any male staff report to room X”. If it’s in my area and I can go, I go. We have a number of male RNs now, too, which helps. I’ve had my share of attempts to injure me by deranged or demented patients. Thank goodness for the training I got in my police reserve academy classes.
