A doctor in Lanzhou, Gansu Province was attacked and killed by a patient. How should doctors protect their lives?

First of all, we should stabilize our emotions, and then stabilize the emotions of patients' families, and try not to have disputes or direct or indirect conflicts with patients' families.

After so many years, there are still reports every year that someone brought a knife into the hospital to attack maliciously. After the Lanzhou incident, we should pay more attention to safeguarding personal freedom and safety. Moreover, for the problem of doctor-patient relationship. The little doctor has no right to speak. What they can do is to try their best to ease their contradictions and protect their personal safety.

As small doctors, we try not to be alone with serious mental patients. When treating some mental patients, try to take away all the surgical tools and unnecessary ones around you. Also, be patient and peaceful during work, because there are not many unreasonable patients, and more patients just complain about poor service attitude. Recognize your own position and do what you should do. Don't make your own decisions when you encounter something in clinic, ask for more instructions and report more, and don't easily solicit responsibility. Even if you explain the patient's condition, you need to communicate with the patient's family first This is not cowardice, it is responsible for your own personal safety.

Be careful in clinic, otherwise you will only suffer. When you encounter a vicious incident, you should know how to protect yourself and report it. Talk as little as possible, don't escalate contradictions, report them to the leaders for resolution, and don't get emotional. When communicating with patients' families, try to choose the door of the office or clinic, so that there is room for escape under special circumstances, and more people can call the police for help in time. If the patient can fight, hand him over to the police station, if not, he will run away. Don't try to protect any machinery, so as not to delay the best time to escape.

Also, try not to put harmful tools on the table. Unless you can make sure that you can get it faster than the patient to protect yourself. When the patient is in a big mood, the first thing to do is to appease the patient's mood. The most important thing is to be kind to others, be patient with patients and their families, and communicate flexibly to avoid violent incidents.
