Violence in health care: Why doctors and nurses are leaving.
KevinMD.com
March 07, 2025
Healthcare consumers are increasingly outraged at the U.S. healthcare system. One result is increasing assaults upon those that work in healthcare. Unfortunately, this most frequently means that hose workers who are the most accessible and most vulnerable are most frequently assaulted. This is particularly unfortunate and misdirected as, now that doctors have become employees, they and other ‘hands-on’ healthcare workers have little to no input into or control of the issues that so outrage consumers. But these assaults have the paradoxical effects of causing increasing numbers of workers to abandon healthcare for safer professions – thus further worsening patient healthcare access issues.
