But the researchers, writing in Archives of Physiotherapy, stressed: “Patients should not swear at the therapist. Verbal aggression appears to lead to a high degree of distress among healthcare workers.

Your thoughts?

That is sure way to get an abrupt stop to your services, when it comes to me.

I have on more than one occasion, a heck of a lot more than a few occasions, stopped treatment and walked out on a patient for vile, rude, or aggressive behavior.

Now that is only if the vulgarities are addressed at me. If they are just yelling and cussing in attempt to manage the pain or to just get it out of their system, then they can have at it. Under those circumstances I can use that purging to the patient's benefit.

All bets are off the moment a patient directs their vitriol towards me.

Remember my motto? You teach people how to treat you.
