  1. As a lunatic myself when I have assaulted nurses and staff they are usually not fast enough or strong enough to help themselves or let alone push a button. This is not going to save lives. People who are typically violent are not going to show you the signs or give you time to press a button. We just attack.

  2. I hate that this is needed but there really need to be more of these. A nurse got her jaw broken at out local hospital after someone "became aggressive"

  3. That is what happens when a population realizes that being the test rats many times leads to death and staff NOT trying to save lives but following GUIDELINES AND DEATH PANELS. Sad BUT TRUE!!

  4. Teachers need that also, but staff would not come. My mother was left on the bed pan for over 40 minutes. Three physical therapists found her. This happened several times but for about 20 minutes. The nurse was fired. AC also leaked on her bed.

  5. hey you can push that button all you want by the time they get to you i will turn you into paste, enjoy those useless buttons, they are useless as your screams will draw more attention then the button between your legs

  6. repugnicons – insurrectionists – white supremacists – need to be locked up, swapped for those in jail under cannabis charges. Call it war on violence

  7. Medical workers getting physically abused or assaulted is no different than any other worker dealing with the moron public. Flight attendants. Walmart employees. Walgreens staff. Uber drivers.

  8. The minute ANYONE crosses the line they should be removed from the premises immediately and be trespassed. Their medical needs are void at that point, you are done. It's terrible that they have to carry panic buttons, but I'm glad that they have them.
