Violence in our Emergency Depts is increasing & it must stop.
6/5th a security guard was shot and two healthcare workers were injured at a local hosp.No one should fear for their life while saving someone else’s.

Why are numbers rising?

—> More aggression in society overall (political climate worse)
—> Post-pandemic visitor rules looser, increasing risks
—> Attacks are still underreported: most don’t report verbal abuse
—> Laws exist but aren’t always enforced (no federal law: some states do have laws)

Many who should not own firearms are able to do so & fewer consequences if they are used.

—> More weapons in hospitals—many don’t have metal detectors
—> Healthcare violence is still normalized: “just part of the job”
—> Even when laws exist, hospitals rarely press charges

More mental health & substance use crises
—> EDs aren’t built for long term psych care

Why is this happening? There are many reasons, but here are a few.

Overcrowded, understaffed hospitals:
—> Longer wait times = more frustration
—> Healthcare workers are stretched thin, burnout is high
—> Patients + families take out anger on staff
