A patient bit me on the hand yesterday! She presented with AMS and we were trying to obtain labs/urine, she went berserk. It took 3 of us just to keep her in the bed because she was screaming, kicking, and flailing her arms. I grabbed her wrists (hoping I could at least control her movements, if not pin her down) and while someone else was trying to get restraints on the patient she reached up and chomped down on my hand. I had forgotten how much that HURTS! Fortunately didn't break the skin, but left a heck of a bruise.
So has anyone else been assaulted by a patient recently?
