I got punched on the face today at work

This is happening in hospitals and professional offices around the western world (& maybe further?) to such an extent that they now have permanent security guards and signs saying that rude and agressive behaviour will not be tolerated.
I think it has something to do with the ice epidemic.
But it might also be due to cost cutting, "efficiencies", and ambulance ramping. People get desperate to be seen, especially if they have extreme pain or life threatening ill-health.
Some people are dying because they don't get seen soon enough.
I don't blame staff. I remember well back when this never happened.
I blame governments and their unwillingness to keep pace with larger populations and inflation.

So sorry to hear that... I hope it heals quickly.

Two patients? Or one patient?

That is bad for real . I am sorry for that .People here are dirty too . Many times specific violent category of people tried to attack me , I don't give them a chance and I call the security to deal with them. I am no head to go in fights with such rotten people. You too don't engage , just let the security take care of the issue.

I really hope you are not hurt critically.

sorry that happened.

Presumably you'll get some compensation from this?

I'm usually the guy on the sidelines cheering on the hotter person to win.

Oh Mimi. How is the area? Are you bruised?
