Most Dangerous (non fatal) Job

[Jolly]

I worked at a small version of St. Elsewhere.

I've been attacked by a woman with a butterknife, tackled a naked, screaming woman as she ran through the lab and then watched with glee as she beat the crap out of a security guard. I was working the evening a cop shot a prisoner in the ED and I was working the day a cop shot a woman trying to break her boyfriend out of jail ( did I mention we had a jail cell in the ER?). I watched the cops gun down a guy I worked with (after he had killed two people that morning), and pulled one of my co-workers out of the window opening, just before a stray bullet pinged through. I was down at the ED, the morning the pipe bombs went clattering across the floor, when the team transferred a patient off the ambulance gurney.

I missed the ED riot we had, with over seventy people fighting with the cops through the trauma room and the hallways, as the nurses tried to wheel an OB with an abdominal GSW through the melee. But on another occasion, I did call security after finding a lady in the parking lot that wouldn't look up when I kept knocking on her driver's side window...Eventually found out she was dead (suicide).

It was that kind of place. Stories? Yeah, I got stories...

I got the clap from an office secretary once.

Violence, Jon. Unless there was BDSM involved it doesn’t count.

Bioweapon. She knew.

In all fairness, healthcare is a pretty wide field. I imagine the “nurses” in the psych ward are exposed to a significantly higher number of violent encounters than the PA in the cardiac center.

Before you started or after you prematurely finished?

Go work at a mental facility for the criminally insane...

That is probably an example of a job where the pay is nowhere close to the stress, etc. involved

Oh, you go through a locked barred door (key) into a holding space, then through an electrically-opened barred door into the ward. Once on the ward, you have no way out, except back through those doors.

I should have clarified - I got the paper cut on my dick

Cool. Did you ever notice how the staff got into the ward?
