When it comes to the job of an ER Doc, dealing with life-and-death situations on a daily basis is likely to be the most intense and challenging part of the job. However, for many, the workplace brings another challenge - workplace violence. Coming into contact with a revolving door of patients, many of whom are in vulnerable or frantic states of mind, increases the likelihood of verbal or physical abuse toward EPs.

In this episode, we'll look at the nature of workplace violence and discuss how this can impact the mental and physical well-being and career longevity of ER Docs.
