[Amy Faith Ho, MD MPH @amyfaithho]

The first time I was assaulted, I was a 3rd year medical student, and a psych patient handcuffed to a gurney rail in the ER fought so hard, the entire metal rail (still cuffed to his arm) separated from the bed.

The 6ft piece of heavy steel would’ve gone flying into my skull had my former-linebacker attending not thrown me back, where I safely hit the wall instead, and he and two officers and two burly nurses wrestled the patient back down.

I never felt unsafe in medicine, even after that, because it wasn’t a targeted assault — I was just there as a victim of his pathology, which he couldn’t control either.

But times have changed.

People are angrier, in healthcare and in the world.

Compounded with the pressure cooker of the circumstances that land people in the ER, we exist in an explosive and violent world every day.

Healthcare has more non-fatal workplace violence than any other profession…and we’re supposed to be the field of healing…

The entrenched myth that pregnancy and birth is safe, easy, routine, “natural”, or no-big-deal and without immediate or long term serious consequences to the person carrying that pregnancy has played a significant role in getting us to this point.

[Robin Iriele @Robintherealon1]

@eggy_boom I guess that's the problem. Cassie ain't right within. Lol.

[Robin Iriele @Robintherealon1]

@VKwhy Bragg has. We talked about it in clinic one day.

@domillima @CaseUrology After having a similar conversation, I dispose of every supply of 16 fr 3 way catheters I see...for safety reasons.

Our chairman and residency program coordinator are commemorating MLK's “I Have a Dream” speech by wearing all black. It’s just as important today as it was 57 years ago for us to work together to eliminate discrimination by rejecting and confronting racism and inequality.

[Robin Iriele @Robintherealon1]

@ddlovato LOVE YOU.

[Robin Iriele @Robintherealon1]

@mindykaling My husband swears by Reddit threads on the subject. I can't endorse it because I don't use the Peloton nor message boards that'll make me feel guilty.
I'll get there though on day.
