Many carers go above and beyond the call of duty, because they become attached to the people they are caring for.
I worked in Nursing for almost 30 years and never saw anyone ill treat a client/patient...and if I had seen that kind of treatment I would have reported it in an instant.....I have, however seen nurses hit, scratched and bitten by people under the influence of alcohol....but that doesn't mean that all people who drink alcohol will treat nurses in that way

Obviously they arent all like that, but what i'm saying is that its a horrible world when you have to worry about such possibilities when its meant to be a help to everyone including the person who is being treated there.
