@TomSrOfBoston, that is rude for you to assume that aspiring Dr.s or even some new ones would assume they would be assaulted and are naive. Certain specialties such as EM or Psych could possibly know there are going to be incidents. My kid is a surgeon, why would she assume a patient would hit her on the head doing a post op check? My kid is not naive. She could have had the patient removed from the hospital for assault but did not.
