‘Sworn at, spat on and threatened’: how drunks treat ED doctors A nurse being yelled at, an elderly woman being punched, a doctor being sexually harassed - these are just some of the experiences of ED staff dealing with alcohol-affected patients.

97.9% of ED staff have experienced alcohol-related aggression in the last year. Alcohol-related harm is preventable, we must make changes to make emergency departments safer for both staff and patients. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3606... @firstdonoharm.bsky.social @emajournal.bsky.social

Happy to share an invited article I wrote looking at what
#EM in Australasia can learn from the #NHS for Emergency Medicine Australasia.
