D1 was assaulted (grabbed by the throat) by patient who managed to get out his restraints when she was PGY1. One of her co-residents had his arm broken in 2 places recently by a patient having a psychotic episode. And he’s a big guy, ex-military.
I was looking at the research literature. I expected psych and EM to be dangerous, but even a pretty surprising number pediatricians, FM and IM physicians report being assaulted by patients or family members.
