This warning can be seen in many hospitals in the United States, Singapore and other countries: Do not use violence against medical staff, it is a crime!

During my dental practice at the Southwestern Medical Center in Texas, I encountered the "medical trouble" in the United States.

On a hot afternoon, a patient came to the hospital for an initial consultation. He completed the registration, and the doctor who received the consultation began to ask routine questions, including medical history and allergy history, as well as a question with local characteristics-weight.

In Texas, the folk custom of eating large pieces of meat and drinking in large bowls has created a huge number of overweight people. The dental chair in the hospital has a maximum load. Overweight patients are at risk of breaking the dental chair. If this happens, the hospital and the doctor should take full responsibility. The maximum load of an ordinary dental chair is about 270 kilograms. It is not surprising that Texans weigh more than this amount, so the hospital is also equipped with two special dental chairs with a load of about 450 kilograms, but an appointment is required.

The patient weighed 380 pounds. The doctor told the patient that he could only make an appointment and come back to see the doctor another day. At this time, the patient's mood was a little bad. He may have come from a neighboring city not easy, so he complained loudly to the eldest sister at the front desk. The lady at the front desk reminded the patient to keep quiet and control their emotions. This time, the patient made a fuss and attracted the larger police officers in the hospital.

Seeing this, the patient had to obediently make an appointment for a diagnosis and treatment. Before leaving, he gave the lady at the front desk a middle finger. Just because of this move, the police immediately took him down and took him back to the police station with a serious warning. Because the circumstances did not constitute personal injury, he also had an opportunity to "see a doctor under monitoring". If there is still excesses, he will be put on the patient blacklist of the entire Southwestern Medical Center, and the hospitals in the system can turn him out in the future.

At noon a week later, two police officers with live ammunition swaggered into the hospital, went to the special dental chair room, checked the whole room, and then one stayed behind while the other went with the doctor to greet the patient.

In the end, the diagnosis and treatment went smoothly that day, but the patient still needed to receive such "treatment" twice. After confirming that he performed well, he could apply for exemption from monitoring, but the doctor who received him could still apply for protection.

Another time I encountered "medical trouble" was in Philadelphia. In the dilapidated old city district, there was a large and magnificent hospital, the Einstein Hospital. The neighbor fell and was referred to the Einstein Hospital overnight by the community emergency doctor. Her family asked me to accompany the translation.

When I arrived at the hospital emergency center, I thought I was at the police station: two or three police cars were parked on both sides of the gate with their overhead lights flashing, and the police were patrolling around.

The neighbor and her daughter were pushed forward, and as soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by the police. I just remembered the rumors about this hospital: because of the "dangerous" surrounding environment, emergency patients are often drunk, fighting, and gunshot wounds. Even with police protection, the personal safety of medical staff is often threatened. Doctors are reluctant to come to this "first-level war zone". Later, the police force was increased to 1:1 with the medical staff, and some night shift doctors were barely retained.

Behind the police is a sign that reads "Zero Tolerance for Assault on Doctors".

After some cross-examination of me, the police said that there was only one doctor inside, and a patient could only be accompanied by one person. I was not an immediate family member and could not enter the emergency room, so I could only stay in the waiting area.

After a while, a small drunk man walked by talking to himself, followed by a man in a leather coat. The drunk man had his head broken, felt he needed to be checked, and went to the emergency room. The police let in the drunk, and the men in leather jackets could only wait outside.

During the two-hour waiting period, I could only communicate with my neighbors through text messages on my mobile phone, because the emergency room and the waiting area were prohibited from making calls, so I had to go outside to make calls, and the temperature outside was minus ten degrees Celsius. A neighbor texted me to tell me that it was her turn just now, and suddenly a patient with 8 knives came in and screamed so badly that the doctors and nurses went to treat him.

While waiting, the alarm bell at the front desk suddenly rang, and two policemen rushed in quickly. Soon, the intoxicated person was taken out. He was emotional and kept complaining, saying that he had waited for more than two hours and no one cared.

At this time, the emergency doctor also came out. The scene is like this - two sturdy police officers are holding the drunk person from left to right like two generals, the emergency doctor takes off his mask and says to the drunk person: "I just gave you a preliminary examination, It's okay for now, and a nurse has been arranged to take you to a CT. If you can't wait quietly and interfere with my work repeatedly like just now, we won't be able to continue to help you." After the drunk person agreed, the emergency doctor brought He went back to the emergency room.

In the second half of the night, I was so sleepy that I was about to close my eyes when the alarm bell rang again. This time, when the intoxicated person was brought out of the rack, his feet were in the air, and he yelled while struggling. The emergency doctor followed the yellow line at the door and did not go out again. The police turned back to her and said, "You go back to work, leave it to us here."

Seeing this scene, the man in the leather jacket rushed up to "rescue" his companion. After the police's two verbal warnings were invalid, the other two policemen at the door put down their coffee, came over and stuffed the two troublemakers into the police car and pulled them away.

After waiting for almost 4 hours, the neighbor finally transferred to the ward for further treatment. I curiously asked her what the drunken man had done, and the neighbor replied, "He got impatient, and grabbed the doctor's shoulder when he asked the doctor."
