Regrettably, there are way too many incidents against professionals in a variety of professions:
lawyers https://www.americanbar.org/groups/bar_services/publications/bar_leader/2012_13/may_june/matter_life_death_bar_associations_respond_recent_attacks_lawyers_judges/
teachers(the APA calls this a “hidden crisis”)

and physicians

Based on the above, combined with the described assaults on healthcare providers, it’s clear that there is a problem across our society where violence has become entirely too commonplace.
And being “naive” has nothing to do with any of this; if you’re taking an H&P and the patient and/or family member physically assaults you, how does one prepare for this? A physician can’t, unless actual patient contact is eliminated.
