Dick Sem, a hospital security consultant says that attacks in healthcare facilities are on the rise.
He told AP last month: ” Many people are more confrontational, quicker to become angry, quicker to become threatening.
“I interview thousands of nurses and hear all the time about how they’re being abused every day.”
Sem says that hospital violence is on the rise, often in emergency departments but also in maternity wards and intensive care units.
He believes that unlike random mass shootings, in hospital attacks, the shooter is often targeting somebody specific.
