Cross-sectional study found that staff at one large urban academic US emergency department faced workplace violence every 3.7 shifts. Over 25% of incidents involved physical assault, with nurses (3x higher odds) and those under 40 at greatest risk. #medsky #emedsky #emimcc

I’ve worked Christmas for my Christian friends. Any holiday is hard, but Christmas is tough. To see families lose loved ones while the house is filled with holiday lights, food, and presents - shakes your soul. Thanks to all those who are working these days. May you be safe in your duties.
