Number Four

This was said to me by the patient last shift after I saw he was out of jail after punching a nurse in the face several weeks ago. This patient is bi-polar schizophrenic with over 20+ aggravated assault charges. He has assaulted staff many many times and destroyed hospital property. I know he as assaulted me a couple of times at least. He has yet to "win" with me and hates me for it. Anyways, this is what he said because he and I know each other so well.

"Best pinch yourself bitch, I'm back you bitch mother fucker ain't no jail or judge gonna hold me, step to me bitch and I'll knock your ass out."

This got a curtain close a sigh and face palm.

This was at the beginning of shift this patient we'll call him Mr. Jones was just there for a refill of his psych meds. I've been there long enough to know Mr. Jones very well and what he is capable of doing to staff and property. He has been up for discharge for nearly 2 hours but the night nurse thought it would be a good idea to keep him around because having a violent dangerous patient in an open psych area is a "great" idea *note sarcasm* He is discharged and escorted out by security within 10 minutes of changing shift. Frankly, I'd rather not deal with Mr. Jones either but knowing his track record I'd rather have him gone one less thing to worry over.

I hope that I don't see Mr. Jones again this shift. But, I know I will.
