Abstract
In our medical practice, we often encounter some patients who can be
challenging to handle. Unfortunately, some of these patients, along
with their friends and family members, may resort to violent or harmful
behaviors toward doctors and paramedical staff during treatment.
According to the World Health Organization, between 8% to 38% of
healthcare workers have experienced physical violence at some point
in their careers. (1)
