    student-with-no-life replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care how good of a DR he is, what position he holds, what he did is called assault. I would call the police on him and file charges. You know the hospital will protect him, this is WRONG. He has NO business laying a finger on you. CALL THE PO...
