Emergency physician Harry Severance sheds light on the troubling increase in violence against health care workers. From physical assaults to verbal abuse, health care professionals face a myriad of threats on a daily basis. Severance delves into the root causes of this alarming trend, highlighting the pervasive culture of violence in health care settings. The impact of such violence on the mental and physical well-being of health care professionals is profound, leading to burnout, trauma, and decreased job satisfaction. However, one of the biggest challenges in addressing this issue is the underreporting of violent incidents. Many health care workers fear retaliation or believe that violence is just "part of the job." Severance emphasizes the urgent need for preventive measures to protect the safety of health care workers. From implementing de-escalation training to improving security protocols, addressing the epidemic of violence in health care requires a multifaceted approach. Join us as we explore this critical issue and advocate for a safer work environment for all health care professionals.
