Another nurse has been attacked and beaten at the Centre for Addition and Mental Health on Queen Street West Sunday morning, it has been revealed. The case demonstrates once again the apparently dangerous conditions existing at the hospital for staff treating patients there. In 2014 a nurse was badly beaten and the furore over that case caused the hospital to apologize for not taking enough care to see that nurses are protected. The dilemma is clear however. Patients are not treated like prison inmates and if they are inclined to be violent, staff is going to get hurt. Previous incidents have failed to shed light on how the handling such threats is addressed in real terms at CAMH. In this case a 53-year-old man is in custody. Lots of blame but few useful facts in CAMH nurse case
