Patient assault risk

December 24, 2014

Tonight, I have tried to tell the mental health worker, the nurse, and a crisis clinician that there is a male patient at this unit who I think might try to assault me, and they just keep telling me "The coughing is not sexual harassment and it has nothing to do with you."

There is nothing I can do about this situation tonight except not let the nurse who keeps harassing me to get on my nerves enough that I lose my temper.  If I lose my temper, if I raise my voice, probably if I so much as talk about the subject again, something bad will happen.  I don't know exactly what it will be, because I don't know what happens at a crisis unit.  I would think they could send me to a hospital.  I don't know if they can force me to take medication while I'm at the unit or if they would have to send me to a hospital for that.
