Most times when you try to defend someone who is being picked on, the bully then tries to target you. Unfortunately, it was better for them that they stay out of it because that meant she left them alone.
I'm the type that if I see someone constantly being bullied and finally the victim speaks up for himself/herself, then I will intervene to try to redirect focus on patients and be supportive. I can't afford to put myself at crossfire because an individual hasn't learned to be assertive enough to deal with foolishness because what would happen is I will lose my job and the victim and the bully will still be there working.
