      I am going to war. It will require much research of neuroscience. Social Services are failing my uncle coz he swears at their nurses &carers

      Frontal lobe damage. Psych nurse. 'I can't evaluate him if he swears at me.' Yes, you can. That's the symptom.The thing he didn't do before.

          I spent 17 years working with people with challenging behaviour due to brain damage. There needs to be people who will do that.

          These people should be compensated at a higher level. (I wasn't) You can't just say 'Our carers don't have to put up with that.'

          In the general scheme of thing, people shouldn't have to provide services to people who call them names & shout at them, no.

          But if your service is providing care for people with brain damage, consider teaching staff to tolerate odd or rude behaviour

          It's particularly upsetting coz his wife who'd cared for him for yrs was explaining this & sending scans &reports even while dying of cancer

          Can they just switch out the nurse to someone with a backbone?

          Apparently not. They keep saying their staff is not required to tolerate abuse. WTF?

          That's insane, especially for a nurse who deals with older people with neurological disorders where that's extremely common.

          If more than 1/3 of dementia patients will demonstrate this behaviour - she *must* understand it's fairly standard in neurological cases 🙈pic.twitter.com/ZqTPwerNEZ

          It's one thing not being cut out for the job but to be shielded from doing the very thing your job entails is senseless.

          Okay, calmer response: I work in a support home for vulnerable adults. One of them starts swearing, you damn well record it & observe it.

          You *absolutely* note it as a change of behaviour and you watch for associated signs of aggression and mood/behaviour changes ASAP.

          I get docs have a "no abuse" policy, but psych nurses can't exactly claim the same privileges in their given field. That makes no sense.

          Christ! If I didn't evaluate patients due to swearing when I worked in PICU they would never have been assessed/treated!
