Answer:
I know about the problems the Medics have with the Junkies Alky's - gang fighting etc etc... but what I think the main problem is ..Ordinary Joe & Jane's like you & me...getting Frustrated & irate at the amount of time taken to attend to us in Hospitals or Doctor Surgeries...and we take it out on the Staff- who are mostly overworked most of the time...its enough tension to make the most civilised of soceity loose the place..
Because no one spanks their bratty kids anymore.
because most of the time they are drunk or criminals who have been arrested
Binge drinking combined with a bad service and ridiculous waiting times.
it's just an increasing amount of assaults full stop - but people are at their most dunk and violent when they come to the hosiptal.
i work in the nhs theres an increasing number of drink and drug related cases and no protection.theres only 2 security on a nightime
NOBODY THERE TO TEACH THEM A GOOD LESSON.
Probably because all they get is a slap on the wrist, they need harsher punishments, doctors and nurses are under enough stress as it is and they already do a very good but unrewarding job. Half those idiots are usually drunk or on drugs, they don't deserve to be treated especially when there injuries are self inflicted and then they turn violent. Medical staff should have more protection.
In my opinion it is because there is an increasing lack of respect by most everyone in society. On edge, the country see that those in power either dont seem to care or are blind.
