Closest I came to actually using it was when I was a phlebotomist and had to hold down a patient who was clearly not all there. He was flailing around but was somehow barely conscious but they needed blood ASAP. So that was fun. Basically had to teach a new nurse how to actually hold somebody so I could get blood. He was trying to pussy foot around it like I was going to put a needle in flailing arm.
I had a code violent Friday between clocking out and going to my car, lol. Was an older guy with alzheimers. You are trying to stop them from falling while they beat the shit out of you lol. We ended up putting two matresses on the floor of a room and let him tire himself out trying to get up.
You will see notes in the chart like "KICKS FAST WATCH OUT" from the nurses lol.
Its a weird sector of the economy.
Worse thing about my job is wearing a mask 8 hours.
We've had to help restrain people with covid and nobody is rushing to do that. Its like putting on MOPP 4.
