Fired after verbal abuse from patient's family member

[msbukki]

So in Nov 2023, I was verbally assaulted by a patient; 's family member (who called me an ***) of which I called security who escorted him out. I emailed management about the incident and put in my two-week notice (because I was frustrated with just the running of the department as a whole). I was pulled into the office by my managers who asked what happened (after they asked everyone present to report what they saw happened). They lectured me on how I should have handled the situation but also placated to drop my resignation which I did (I regret it now). I requested to change my status to part-time and was told that would not be possible until after the holiday craze. A few days after Christmas, I was terminated because of the incident. I was gobsmacked and felt blindsided and realized again that no job cares about you, I honestly don't know what to do.
