Violence Is A Disease .... The Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports of nearly 25,000 workplace assaults reported annually, 75% occur in health care and social service settings and workers in health care settings are four times more likely to be victimized than workers in private industry. A 2014 survey on hospital crime attributed 75% of aggravated assaults and 93% of all assaults against health care workers to patients or customers.
Beth Duche, RN, told police that Mark Ryan, MD, forcefully grabbed and squeezed her neck in October 2018 after she asked him to stop turning off recovering patients' vital sign machines. Another nurse said she saw the attack. Dr. Ryan, who previously cited "alarm fatigue" as the cause of his outburst, pleaded guilty to one felony assault charge of strangulation as well as one misdemeanor assault charge. His sentencing is scheduled for June.
Beth Duche RN joins us to share her story. Beth has been a Registered Nurse for 23 years. She started her career in Med/Surg, then began floating between ER, ICU, Cath lab, SNF, Cardiac Rehab and ended up in PACU in 2001. She fell in love with surgery ( but did not want to be an OR nurse). Prior to the assault, she worked in PACU for 17 years.
