This episode is Part 2 of a 2-part series on Mental Health Emergencies. Join us as we return to our conversation with Associate Professor Dr Chris Hogan where we continue to discuss the importance of doctors staying safe in dealing with distressed or agitated patients. In this episode we explore unexpected violence, practical tips to ensure a safe environment, the difficulties of sedation, and doctor’s self-care.
