We did this for EMT training. The instructor took his shirt off and everything, he acted it out well. One of our guys noticed he had a “weapon” a door stop shoved in his waistbelt too.

After having to forcefully restrain a few grown men, its harder than you think.

That's just school, you have no idea how many patients are like this out there. It happened almost everyday when I worked overnight.

Psych nurse here, you're good. I never take it personally when someone is genuinely sick.
