Im a nurse working in a nursing home in Massachusetts and I have been
assaulted numerous times by patients ( punched, closed fist). I have no
resource except to leave my job . Sadly, I have no new job offers and need
to work. Nothing but an incident report is done. The patient is repeatedly
sent back from a psych eval and behavior is never under control. Any
ideas? I am becoming anxious and fearful ( aside from physical pain)
Would you be willing to write your story so I can put it on my website?stophealthcareviolence.org? I am also a frequent guest on the radio show PWR Lillian Caldwell I am a quest of connect with Jeanne White. With your permission ( no Names) I could tell your story!!!!
Oh if I complain, we all know what happens,,,, the outspoken one is always the one to lose their job. Uppers will find any little reason to " fire" someone just to make a person who is standing up for their rights, go away. Ill hold onto your email. ty!.
It seems that a team meeting should be in order. Why is this person a repeater? Is it really psych or other reasons? Write a police report, This person can still be charged with assaulting a healthcare provider if s/he is in a real psych dilemma. It is hard to give the correct answer not knowing everything . Write me at [email protected].
Hospitals Don't Burn Down
Made by Film Australia 1977. Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. A disturbingly realistic film about a fire in a large hospital. This program pulls no punches and ...
+Daniel Foreman Indeed. Brian is famous for stunts and setting people on fire. This is the only film he made for the government film units. Perhaps he was too scary for the them, or we didn't make enough 'disaster' films for his tastes.
+NFSA Films , lack of creative licence would result in many black screens when showing smoke filled rooms, this is generally not a good thing ;)This is very well made :)
+Barbara Leibert My clogs don't make me as angry as the stupid cap I wore in nursing school. First thing I did upon graduation was run that thing up a flagpole.
+James Christmas Though this film was made in '77, it's based on a fire that happened in '61. Hospitals made of brick or stone could be grandfathered in and not required to have sprinklers. There was an alarm, but only the fire department knew it had gone off.
Great movie!! I remember seeing this in middle school. There were so many
questions, Why didn't the fire dept start spraying the building with water
to keep the fire from spreading?. Why didn't the fire crew go in the blding
and asst w/evacuating the patients. Clearly the staff had no training on
what to do during a fire, or how to help someone if they were on fire. For
a movie made in 1977 it was pretty ballsy, the scenes with the people
catching on fire was intense and the ironic injustice ending with the guy
smoking at the end. Thanks for sharing.
+NFSA Films Hello, I researched Mr. Trenchard-Smith, very interesting read and as you mentioned I learned that he was an admirer of Quentin. I'm a novice writer and I'm working on my first screenplay, so I'm always looking at different styles of shots and setting. Thanks again for sharing the movie,Shawna
HI Cattet, thanks for your comment. Yes indeed many unanswered questions. As for the "ballsiness" it was directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, his only film for the government film units, and he is better known as one of Australia's great shlock directors. In fact he is much admired by Quentin Tarantino.
So you see smoke and open the shoot door..... Most would leave it well alone and inform someone in charge.In the scenario this seems to be based on (Hartford Hospital Fire), the door was not opened but rather blown off its hinges when fresh air was let in from what I understand.
