Inmate Attacks prison nurse Video - FileCabi.net

Wow ... just wondering if anything like this has happened to you.

[sirI]

I never had a left hook in the prison system, but did in the ED one night. Fx my jaw.

That has never happened to me. That is type serious! Wow!
I have witnessed attacks on officers.

Okay, after watching this video, which is by far very disturbing.......I have to wonder why #1 this inmate was not in full restraints, especially after having assaulted other staff earlier in the morning and #2 if this inmate threatened the nurse 2 hours prior to her treating him, why did she not request to have the inmate in full restraints? If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.

The video says they set his hands free so the nurse could treat the wounds on his hands ... but still ...

In hindsight ... it doesn't seem to have been a good idea with all of the problems they had with him earlier.

Sometimes you have to introduce them to the floor, the wall, the gurney... it is good to meet new people.

I believe more people are dropped by nurses in the hospital than the average correctional facility.

It is a shocking video to watch, HOWEVER...... Note how quickly he is taken off her. In the ER or nursing home or rehab there wouldn't be security right there, and most hospital security I've seen would need MY backup anyway. Stuff might happen, but we already know they aren't nice guys. It was a pop in the face.....she had no broken nose or teeth, no serious threat to life during the incident. Stick a video into any facility and I bet things you see everyday might look gawdawful. Like when we are releasing some steam about difficult patients, rushing or performing a difficult intervention (wouldn't some look BRUTAL), or getting reamed out by some god complexed physician or family member. It was a short instant in the day of, and that nurse may have let her guard down for a minute but I bet she keeps on going to work and filed it into lesson learned, used it.

I agree. I've been hit like that before in the hospital and there was NOBODY around to help me, that's for sure. Security was a joke.

I still think prison is probably safer however, I've never actually worked in corrections so, that's why I wanted to ask corrections nurses to comment on this video.

If you kick their butt or call them out in front of everyone you often will never have to deal with that again. Bullies hate having their punk card pulled.

Same thing with family members. And always call the police and press charges if assaulted. People like that do what they do because they have been getting away with it for so long. Assault on a health care worker is a felony here, and whether it is an inmate patient or not they need held accountable.

No one has the right to degrade you or harm you- ever.
