No, but a few people have been attacked before. Some even chased with knives.

wow! That is crazy. murderous.
Sounds like mental asylum?

Might as well be... the police unfortunately know us rather well... [lol]

Police know you as suspect or as victim? O__O

Hummy! [glomp] It was too hard to talk in that thread :( I got missed.

Moreso we've had to call the police while at work a decent number of times. Or they've called the police on us because they didn't like us.

I see. *sighs* Sometimes it is difficult to sympathize those people.

Yeah... but I'll be honest... they are a lot easier to deal with than normal people... >.< they're smarter...

what? that is one amazing thing. how come they are smarter?

Because we have a lot of crackheads and other sorts of drug addicts here. The clients are legally not permitted to have drugs of any kind that are not prescribed by a doctor... meaning they're clean.

... I don't think.. I get the logic how that makes them smart?

Drugs dull the mind. Some do it permanently.

so, which mean the drug addict is dumb because of their drug doing?
thus that makes the ill patient smarter?

Pretty much. Though... unfortunately I can't explain what my coworker's excuses are...

About using drugs?

No... they are drug free but a lot of them are really stupid (like sleeping on the job) and I can't figure out why...
One guy was a no show... which is very bad since we assist with medication, so not showing can be dangerous for a client.

no show meaning not showing up for work?
so feeding medicine is also your job?

No show, basically by not answering his phone or showing to work, he has refused to work. Basically he quit on a delay... because he will very likely be fired for that.

We have to make sure medication is taken. Some clients can do it themselves some can't. But we do keep them under lock and key, of course.

I see, that is so irresponsible. :<
so unlike nurse, you are not staying with the client the whole day?

I'm there 8 hours a day. A full shift.

Aren't you working in patient's house?

Pretty much yes.

then how do you punch cards?

We sign a sheet on site [yes] and if we don't show the staff waiting to be relieved will call and complain.

I see. Which mean, you travel around your own?
