Safety is your number one priority. Never go into a situation alone. Make sure you have people there to back you up. And never be afraid or show that your afraid. The hospitals specialize in medical emergencies and are not prepared to deal with psy issues and most of the time problems arise when a patient arrives at the hospital with a medical condition due to psy issues or psy issues manifest through the ordeal. The other day a situation occured with a patient and I felt more scared than I ever have in my life. It made me think that I might just go back to school for the psy tech program because I felt safer at the prison I used to work in. I mean at the prison I was never scared because I knew the CO's would help me. At the hospital security isnt even alloweed to carry mace.
