Pretty sure I never signed up for this...

Had to work a 1-1 with a patient today.. She punched me in the stomach when I had to get in between her and another patient, kicked me, scratched me, twisted my arm, pinched me, hit me with her phone and tried to slap me several times🙃 Funny thing is that I'm so used to it now it doesn't scare me or anger me anymore, I just told her to calm herself, which helped about as well as telling any angry woman to calm down... 🥹 😂 Finally after 5 hours of that she calmed down, and we had a nice talk before I helped her get ready for bed🥹

I'm freaking exhausted and deserve a raise-.-

I remember reading the worst thing you can say to an angry person is to calm down... Better to acknowledge their anger and get them talking about why they're angry...

@Cassieeeee theory is great but often falls over in practice lol

@Convivial True. She has dementia, and pretty sure she's experiencing delirium

Omfg! What was that about?

@Ducky I'm thinking delirium.. I complained about it to my boss last weekend, which got her 1-1 care, but it's not really helpful, other than stopping her from hurting anyone else (other than us🙃)
